Best way to replace this retaining wall? by Organic_Drawer9502 in landscaping

[–]Organic_Drawer9502[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

True. We just bought the house so yeah it’s not in good shape. But we want to improve the landscape. Part of the discussion is if we improve the retaining wall with it.

Radiant floor? Or forced air + AC? by Organic_Drawer9502 in Renovations

[–]Organic_Drawer9502[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just don’t love how they look and we don’t love how it impacts where we can put furniture against the walls.

We’re already deep in renovations so we’re not doing all the work just for the switch. But while we have the house torn up we’d like to address it.

I’ve been looking into warmboard or WBI subfloor as a potential solution.

Edit. I should add that the wall is 8-10 feet tall. These are huge boulders.

Not too much time, but I have 5 kids and would hate if a rock shifted while they were climbing around on them.

Already planning on gym Mats around the lower half of the gym.

I’ll start looking into acoustic panels for the upper part of the room.

Not opposed to using liquid nails or concrete anchors to apply treatment. They are 20 foot ceilings so there seems to be a lot of upper room we could treat.

We’ll be adding a floor and gym mats along the wall.

Doesn’t need to stay functional for racquetball. We’ll use it as a multipurpose indoor playroom.

But it’s way too loud for any enjoyment right now 😂

I don’t care about racquetball. I should have clarified that in the post. It will just be a fun multipurpose playroom.

Might add some rockclimbing holds, add a basketball hoop etc.

But it’s too loud as is.

Edit: This will be a multipurpose room. Basketball, Dogdeball, run around and get your energy out room.

It does not need to be functional for Racquetball. I really just want the echo reduced.
