It rained every other day or so from January to April, and so it took forever for the ground to be dry enough to have it show up, but eventually they drove it up my driveway and landed a 14'x24' building on my stakes on the first try. It was something to see.

Did you have to get any special permits for putting an additional structure on your property?

evanrowe wrote:We're finally tackling the HVAC issue with the space. Right now I can't afford one of those sweet mini split ductless jobs, and so we're going with a portable unit that can be in either room as necessary. The shop side has windows, so that's easy. But it'll usually live in the rock side of the building so instruments are kept at a reasonable temperature and humidity, and so I'm trying to sort out the exhaust hose routing and would love input.
Since I successfully knocked our volume level down, I'm loath to put too many holes in walls. The exhaust hose is short (roughly five feet) so as to reduce static pressure and they tell you not to bend it to avoid back pressure. Both of those things suck for me (and potentially my neighbors). I'd originally intended to use a larger diameter insulated duct in the dead space between inner and outer walls to extend the exhaust spirally before exiting the building, but I'm betting these units aren't really designed to overcome even the slightest increase in static pressure. My options:
1. Vent the unit directly through the inner wall straight to the outer wall. Keeps it short and kink-free. Likely also vents loud metal guitar and drums music very effectively, though, so not too into this plan.
2. Vent the unit through the inner wall only into the dead space of that half of the building. Install a pretty serious vent fan in the roof of that side to suck out that foul air. Makes A/C unit happy with short exhaust run, puts distance between the holes in walls to mitigate sound transmission. Potentially grows disgusting shit though, as exhaust will be hot and somewhat humid (unit uses some moisture from room air to cool condenser, so vapor leaves with exhaust).
3. Vent unit through inner wall and shared wall into shop side of building, use window fan to exhaust hot air from that room. Short exhaust run, indirect route for sound transmission. Shop will get hot though.
I'm leaning toward #3 right now, but would appreciate suggestions if anyone's ever done anything like this or has HVAC knowledge. I have almost literally none. Thank you!
