i saw some weight support topics in this forum but i wasn't sure which topic i should ask this, so sorry to bother but since this is kind of related subject i thought it might be appropriate to ask in a separate topic.
i just built a small size music recording studio/booth out of plywood and 2 layers of drywall and with sound insulation vinyl in between the layers. the total size of the unit is 5'x8' in the base which actually sits on casters so that i can move it around if needed... i had to push it all the way to the corner of the room to have space in the rest of the bedroom and to have access to the patio door. i live on the 3rd floor apartment it's partially wood and concrete building was built around 1998. the approximate weight of wood and the drywalls i used so far is 840 pounds from my calculations. and the equipment that i have inside is around 150 pounds in total.
so looking at almost 1000 pound of load that sits in an area of 5'x8' on a 3rd floor apartment, is it safe enough to keep it this way or would it cause any damage by time? it's been 2 months so far since i finished building it.
