Somehow I managed to win the parents lottery. Seriously, I don’t know how I got so lucky. My Mom is my biggest fan and my Dad is my biggest supporter. I mean really, whose parents say, “don’t worry about what job you are going to get after college, just take classes you like and everything else will work itself out.” Anyway, a few weeks ago my Dad took three days off work to help me build a studio in the garage (the new garage is an enormous 40′x40′ metal pole building). Somehow he even conned his friend into coming with him. We started with the wall separating the studio from the rest of the garage.
The garage floor is sloped to a drain, so making the wall level was quite an undertaking, but we got it done.
Then we put the top on.
During those three days we also manage to run a water line from the other side of the garage to a sink inside the studio. Since then I painted the floor…
And when my Dad came back we closed in the wall separating the studio from the garage and installed baseboard heat. With the help of a carpenter friend, I took the old garage door out and replaced it with a french door.
It has been an amazing amount of progress in a very short time. I am so excited to be finished and moved in. It’s my first dedicated work space. I don’t have to make paper in my kitchen any more! Stay tuned for more pics as the studio progresses.
