My Studio Renovation! YEAH!





The studio demo has begun! (and thanks to my hubby for grabbing these snapshots with his point-n-shoot camera). So here is a run down of all the fun "stuff" that comes along with renovations and demos.
Day 1-4. Some of Pete's staffers tore down the old garage door and put up siding on the outside. The they hung those awesome french doors (which will get painted one of these days)!
Day 5. It rained, and rained, and rained...and flooded the room. About 2 inches of water. So that was not too good. Fortunately no water got into the other side, which is currently my working studio.
Day 10 and 11. All dried up and ready to be emptied! This building was constructed in the 1920's...and I think some stuff from back then was still housed on this side! ha! There was alot of junk in what I used to lovingly call "the dungeon". My mom and Ethan were great helpers. (Though I am not too sure if Ethan helped or just made things messier- but he had fun!) Here is how the rest of the day went: empty out as much junk as we could, scrape up my legs, get attacked by mosquitos, cover everyone in Off and sunscreen (probably would have been better as step #1), knocked over the beautiful pedestal (and broke it) that was supposed to hold the sink in the bathroom that will eventually be built), curse, sweat, install subfloor, knock down wall between current studio and "the dungeon", sweat some more, bring dry wall and wood scraps out to the curb, continue sweating, step in poo, curse some more....done for the day.
Lots more to get done, but at least I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! My next scheduled studio session is in 1 week- plenty of time...right??!! fingers crossed.....
