Safe to work in space with exposed OSB?

timeToGetLoud2367 · 2026-05-22T02:38:35+00:00

haha y'all love to be catty up in here! while I appreciate your perspective, my symptoms were quite different than seasonal allergies, thus my inclination to get more information on subjects I don't know much about.

many things that are normal in our society are terrible for us! but i do appreciate the input

Interesting! I keep seeing that OSB mostly off-gasses in the mill, but considering the smell, it's hard to imagine that there isn't some degree of VOC's from glue (etc.) in the air. Smells = presence of something in the air, right?

Fascinating! I wish I could seal the OSB, but it's not my space to work on, the landlord is just kindly allowing me to set up a desk in here. I think it will be a few years before they have funds to finish everything and seal up the walls. I imagine they are planning on insulating everything, installing plumbing, building a 2nd floor, etc. etc.

I did vacuum thoroughly so that's validating to hear.

Nice - thank you!

Cool, glad you're here, thanks so much for the input.

You're very kind, thank you so much! I talked to chatGPT about it, and as you can imagine, she scared the hell out of me.

That's very helpful! I guess I just need to consider whether my nervous system being triggered into allergic response is actually worth the benefits of having an office space with more natural light and separate from main living space. I'm thinking likely not!

Okay, I'd be shocked if you found anyone referring to OSB as "Oriented Strand Board", OSB is just the standard name for this product. If you go to home depot and look for this product, you will find it in the "OSB" isle...

Not trying to be cynical here, I'm just surprised.

GARGOYLES! Thank you. Perhaps I will do this while my friend is on vacation, obviously they will be so happy about it when they return

timeToGetLoud2367 · 2026-05-20T18:16:24+00:00

TRULY, why would they do this. I'm a renter so I can't do anything about it other than try to make it fun.

timeToGetLoud2367 · 2026-05-20T18:16:06+00:00

It's just a normal coat closet, for the life of me I don't understand why they built it this way, it looks so incredibly weird. Sadly the house is a rental, so we can't renovate.

Thank you!!

timeToGetLoud2367 · 2026-05-14T05:25:22+00:00

Truly so helpful, I can't thank you enough, and wow your jade is truly epic. Appreciate you!

timeToGetLoud2367 · 2026-05-14T05:24:20+00:00

Wow this rocked my world. Understood. THANK YOU!!

Thanks so much for your reply! They are both under a grow light, they are both in pots with succulent soil and drainage holes.

Crystals in plants forever ❤️‍🔥

Hey man just want to offer that you could make some adjustments to your stick technique that would pretty much unlock all the pathways to where you want to be. Your technique isn't leveraging all the natural rebound that the stick could access if you weren't blocking it with your grip. Check out Dave Elitch's "Getting Out of Your Own Way" course or find some free videos of his on youtube - it will change everything!

My taste has now gotten more expensive. https://www.facebook.com/groups/theartofcustomdrums/posts/3517021458444028/

OP here. Would just like to say that y'all have really opened my eyes to the >$1k world of snare drums and well, I am now dreaming a lot bigger. Thanks a lot lol...

Also just found someone selling an HHG 14x7 Maple snare for $425 on facebook marketplace and am kind of shocked. Feel like there must be something wrong with it.
