My New Studio Build (perhaps overly detailed)

Just got off the phone with Overly Doors. They put me in touch with their west coast distributor who is, unfortunately, out of town until next week. I’ll badger him when he’s back. The folks at Overly confirmed that since I’m using an engineered hardwood floor I won’t need to install a door threshold. Thresholds are needed for sound doors where carpet or vinyl is used for flooring, but hardwood and laminate products provide an adequate backing for the bottom seals to have identical performance to a threshold-equipped door, but without the functional problems of putting a trip hazard in the middle of your gear load-in/out path.
 
Why risk shortening the life of heat transfer fins? I suspect his heat pump unit will act as a dehumidifier.
There’s no HVAC installed yet, so there’s nothing to risk. No HVAC will be installed until drywall mud, tape, primer, texture, primer and wall paint is done.

The heat pump, or more accurately the mini split system, will indeed act as a dehumidifier as do all mini splits.

post #2054, gave a reason not run the hvac. I was just giving a specific reason not to even consider starting it up.
 
Mud and tape day 3. All the coats of mud are on. It’s going to sit over the weekend with the door cracked and a little space heater humming away to get it fully dried for sanding on Monday. I’m going to have to put on the primer in a hurry Tuesday night as I’m on the road come Wednesday, and my contractor wants to spray texture Wednesday and then do final touch-ups on Thursday. Next week will be a mad dash, but it’s getting close!
