Romy, I am pleased but not surprised to hear that you have quietly ascertained and begun to implement corrective measures to ensure the overall balance of critical elements in your new situation, since without these in place, you would likely come to be miserable in your suburban digs, sooner or later. FWIW, I recommend waiting until the floors are shored up before you order treatment for the interior walls, ceilings, etc. And if you use screw jacks to shore up, then I recommend that you play with them before ordering interior damping tiles, etc. Althought recent pictures you've posted depict the ceiling of your new room considerably lower that I anticipated, still, I'm guesing this room will require very little in the way of absorbtive "treatment", once the "correct" spots for speakers are realized and the floor is snugged up to taste.
With respect to the schedule, I urge patience. It is tough to convince non-professionals that a crapload of unforesee-able variables condition results during a remodel like yours; but this is indeed the case. Either you want it to end at a certain time, or you want particular results. I hope you get what you want when you want; but these two propositions may be mutually exclusive.
Best regards,
