to everyone who has been doubting the interior finishes, acoustics, and whatever else: this guy has been building this house for 30 years, and he's not finished yet. he has a design for all of the interior finishes, and also has insulation taken care of, which covers acoustical issues. i mean, did you know that steel is used in most large-scale construction today, but for some reason you don't hear *krang* every time somebody knocks on it.

yeah, and architects and artists know the material properties of what they are working with far better than any of you, so you could worry a bit less for them and worry more about how much time you waste bitching about other people's productive lives
