Do it Yourself Sound Booth Cost Analysis

OK, here are all costs associated with my new sound booth, which are broken apart as actual building materials costs, in addition to custom extras. After visiting Whisper Rooms costs, plus freight, I think this saved quite a bit of money, and allowed for me to upgrade some gear.

Total time spent, including trips to the Home Depot, Frys, Pro Audio, etc. took about 28 hours.
