Building a Bonus Room + SOUNDPROOF WALLS || Concrete Slab House Reno (Ep.11)
What happens here
The first physical step involves carefully cutting out the existing laminated wood flooring along the planned footprint of the new wall. A multitool (oscillating tool) is used for precise cuts around existing baseboards, and a circular saw is used for longer, straight cuts in the open floor area. To avoid damaging radiant heating lines embedded in the concrete subfloor, a thermal imaging scanner (FLIR brand mentioned) is used to locate these lines before cutting. The cut sections of flooring are then removed.
