Studio remodel update

I’m happy to finally announce my studio remodel of the old granary building is one step closer to completion. If you missed the first post on this, you can view the initial studio photos (including outside) here. I have just finished step one, which was to clean it all up and a little bit of demolition. I am actually about 95% complete, because I still have to pressure wash the entire thing, to remove all the cobwebs and bird nests and their little presents on the floor and, hopefully, some of the oil from the floor.

So here you can see some of the space. The first one here has me sitting on the table to help judge space and scale. I don’t have a really wide camera lens (lowest was a 38mm effective) so it was difficult to show the entire area.

As for the demo work, I removed all the rigged up counter tops and the short walls in the main room. I do still have to remove a few screws and nails from where I tore boards off, but those will only take a couple minutes.
I am super excited about this step Read the rest of this entry »

Studio Project – The Beginning

Here is the front, North and west side:

Here is the back, South and East side along with two of my four dogs:
