Construction has FINISHED on new studio!!
 

We purchased a new house June 2010, and I haven't been able to torch since. May 2011, hubby started construction on a 12x12 "cabin" in our back yard. You can go to my facebook to see work in progress. :biggrin:

Happy almost summer to everyone!!!!!!!!

What a beautiful area to build a studio in! Can't wait to see it all finished.=D>

Lucky you! What a gorgeous place to be able to work in!

Ooh fantastic! It already looks beautiful - it will be stunning.
'Bail o Dhia ar on obar' as we say in Ireland - God's blessing on the work. . .

Thanks ladies! Anna, my grandmother used to say that!!! Her parents came over in the 1910's. :). Thank you for saying that.

Kalera - I am hoping to put in torch two stations, so if you ever comu up to the Gainesville area, you are more than welcome!

posted new pics - tin roof and walls/tarpaper are up! Happy Saturday to all.

Had to stop and work on a few more pressing issues, but work picks up this weekend. Hoping to have all outside siding and windows's installed this weekend. Will post updated pics. Hope you have all had a great 2012 so far!

3 sides of siding put on. Tomorrow the last two windows and possibly some trim. As soon as the windows and door are installed, we can start inside. Interior will be insulated and we are thinking of trying drywall. Power and water lined, then the actual inside designing will begin. I can't wait!

that link doesn't take me anywhere on FB if I'm not your friend. I WANNA SEE!!!!!!!!

I tried to make just that album public, but love new friends. Jennifer EHNAT Willis, send a request and I will add you! ;)

I might suggest using particle board or chipboard for interior wall covering. It takes nails or screws better so you can hang pics, shelves, etc without worrying about stud location or them pulling out of the dry wall. It has a 'different' look when finished but not unpleasant.
That's shaping up to be a real nice work studio. Congrats.

Thank you. i hadn't thought about wall strength, and i want tons of shelves for books, catalogs, glass... lol. we will be going by lowes on friday...... keep you posted.

Going to start setting up wiring this weekend. ;)

That's fantastic! Can't wait to see the finished space!!!!

Oh - I'm so looking forward to seeing the end result. I bet you can't wait to get in there and ToRcH!

I am going crazy! Lol. I know his lucky I am,and am trying very hard not to act like a spoiled brat, but I am so ready! Haven't torched in almost two years!!!! I am going to have to start over completely.

dry wall has begun
 

latest pic.... slow progress.

What a fantastic space you will have when you do get finished. And once the drywall is in, you're most of the way there!

What a great setting and space you are going to have I can't wait to see the finished project.

We have POWER!! Next h20 and cat 5. Now I can hook up the AC and work at night, progress should be quicker. (fingers crossed) If we can't get it finished (for whatever reason) - there will be a spot avail in Corina's Sept Class in Florida. I can't go after not torching for 2 years. Toes crossed, lol.

Wow, this looks amazing and it's not finished. Is the 12 by 12 with the porch? or just your working space?

Thanks. The inside is 12x12, the porch makes it 16x12. We are taking this weekend off for a grown up disney weekend. (daughter on band trip) Then, back at it. ;)

I tried to fix the Facebook link, is working?

You studio looks like it is going to be fantastic!
