They didn’t want to spend very much to refurnish this part of the house so they started first with paint. They chose a soft lime green’ and painted the pipes, wall, beams in the ceiling, They bought a brand new washer and dryer in a decorative color.

Next, came the selection of a fabric. They found just what they wanted in a vinyl coated material with a lime and tur- quoise pattern. This they used

uct you install can be either the familiar 12 x 12 inch and 12 x 24 inch tile or large 2 x 2 or 2 x 4 foot panels for a suspended ceiling.

QUIET WALLS

If a wall partition between two rooms permits noise to pass through easily, i¢/must be modified. IBI suggests that homeowners install an auxil- iary wal! directly in front of the present wall on one side only. The IBI system uses 2 x 3 inch wood studs placed 24 inches apart on 2 x 3 inch wood floor and ceiling plates. There is a 3 inch space left between the new and existing wall par- tition. This same auxiliary wall can also he constructed — on metal studs.

The new studs are then cov- ered with sound deadening in- sulation board with the nails dimpled. Finally % inch gyp- sum wallboard is applied .ver- tically with the joints, offset 12 inches with respect to the sound deadening insulation board.

The gypsum wallboard is in- stalled with drywall laminating compound, not nails. Edges of the gypsum wallboard are tem- porarily blocked with wood strips, while the adhesive sets and bonds. The wallboard joints are then taped and fin- ished. Finally, the entire per- imeter of the new wall is ealked so prevent noise leaks. Your umber and building materials retailer can supply complete letails of this new wall system, {f you now hear loud conversa- tion through your present wall, this auxiliary wall installation will reduce the same conversa- tion to a murmur!

Replace hollow-core doors with solid doors with vinyl] gas- keting, and a snug-up thres- hold closer. If you are instail- ing new floor coverings, take a look at the products with cush- jon backing which reduces noise.
