Let the framing begin....

...and will end almost as quickly. The framers started yesterday and they tell me they will be done today. Pretty cool stuff.

Things here have finally started to thaw out a little from our cold winter which means we're finally going on the studio again. All the moisture we've had out here has led to a huge amount of mud which has caused problems with pouring the slab. So we decided to go ahead and have them frame the building and pour the slab later. This way we can keep that area from getting any wetter and will hopefully dry out sooner so we can get the slab poured. It's very exciting to now have a building to see instead of just the idea of it in my head.


Now that things are moving along with the new studio, I plan to make as many posts as I can about everything I will put into it which I hope will be helpful for anyone putting together their own studio space. So stay tuned...here are some pics and I'll post more pics tomorrow:


the walls almost built

the north wall being craned in, cool view huh?

I think we got the neighbors wondering at this point...
