Getting rid of a smoked mirror wall

So how do you get rid of a smoked mirrored wall?  You cover it!

So my brother and I did this over a weekend and it did take the two of us.

Before picture - 14' wide x 12' high

Cover the wall with plywood - using special screws - the mirrors
were screwed and glued - so they weren't coming down



Used 1x3 to build a frame

Cut out a 'window' and plugged in a regular mirror (6'x3')

Insulated with sound insulation - this is an attached wall to another unit and
so sound insulation was critical


Cover with drywall 


And....you are done.  Tape, mud and paint when ready.  This treatment has significantly reduced the noise we could hear from next door and it got rid of the smokey mirrors :)
