My Studio: A WIP (Almost Done!)
I thought I'd share my studio as it gets built - the lumber was just delivered and the construction guys show up Monday and start building.
Here is my my plan, it will be 10X12 (from a Sunset Garages and Sheds book):
Here is where it's going, eventually with a nice wandering path and flowers and all:
This will be my view (more or less, landscaping needs to happen in a big way):
I'm so excited, I can't wait to make beads again, but making the studio will be fun too 
Pam

Slight change of plans... We couldn't fit it diagonal in the corner without having to cut down an old lovely rhody tree - so it's going to sit square in the corner facing west. And I decided to change the dimensions to 9X13 or 117 square feet - I loose 3 square feet but it fits better in the space and my stainless table top will fit better at the one end of it. And the contractor doesn't know it yet, but I'm getting two 2x2 skylights for him to install - one on the east side, one on the south side.
site - way in the back, roped off:
And the new view with some of the bushes and trees and plants cleared... I'm glad it's been sunny and warmish these past two days!

Pam!!! Hi girl, how are you! Is this at your new house? I haven't been to wearables for a long, long time so I don't know what's been happening with everyone. I can't wait to see your studio! Kisses to Luke

Hi Deb! I can't wait to see it either! I'm waiting for the construction guys to show up - they should be here any time to lay down the footings/foundation/whatevers.
Yes, this is at the new house - I've been here almost a year and almost a year without melting glass! Except for a weekend I tried to set it all up outside on my porch last summer, but it didn't work out - too windy, too sunny... It was good for a couple of hours though. I can't wait to get back to it - so many ideas... Oh I've got a house blog if you want to see the house - it's.... well, lots more work than we thought it would be... so much to do here, it may never get all done. http://cottage-by-the-sea.blogspot.com/
What the heck are you up to???

OMG let's hope! Still waiting for the foundation part - he's late late late.

Not much progress to report. He ran out of concrete - I guess the holes had to be deeper than he thought, once he saw the spot we were putting it on, it's got a little bit of a slope. Tomorrow the holes get filled up and then sit to dry. I think actual building/construction will start on Wednesday. I hope so anyway!

gnimelf, is this better?! LOL - I just got an add from Summerwood and there was my studio! My sunset book must have gotten the design from them. And we are having it built for half the cost of the Summerwood kit. Yay!

Of course we've hit a snag. Old pipes in the ground and no one knows if they are live or not. So now we have to wait for a "locator" to come and give his opinion.
Maybe some progress in a week or so...

It's ok, we are back on track! Sort of. Well we are. Just the windows I wanted couldn't be found so I decided to go with double doors. The ones I ordered (NICE!) were so expensive hubby almost choked and keeled over when I told him, so I cancelled that and ordered some slightly less expensive, mucho less attractive glass doors instead... and the guys came today and started building. And OMG it's way higher off the ground than I thought, but then I hadn't realized the land sloped as much as it did... and now it will need a porch. I can't see it yet... yikes, not going the way I thought at all.
Here's a shot, more tomorrow:

Ohh, a porch would be great! When you need a break from beading you could go out and sit in a rocker and think about that next great bead! Yeah, a porch! Two rockers, in case a friend wants to join you.

hiya Mary!!! No, I just can't wait! And the progress is SLOW. Today he put the floor down and some 2x4's.... and then left. Maybe more tomorrow, I HOPE!
Donna, that's a great idea, a porch for friends - I'm going to wait til it's done to figure out the porch part. I'm thinking bricks right now... but I can't picture anything really (yet).
Here's today's tiny bit of progress:

a floor, 4 walls, a space for the door and the start of the roof. Good day! It's so BIG though... here I was thinking cute "little" garden shed. Not really. It's going to be perfect though

yeah, I'm thinking... maybe there's room for all of my crafty stuff and I can get all that out of the house and have a guest room again. Maybe!

Too big? No way! Before you know it you will be adding on a bathroom so you never have to leave. What a little dream studio.

Is this a kit, or are you just building from a set of plans? It looks very well done.

Thanks Eric - we have builders building it. hey did our house remodel (old house) several years ago and do a great job. The plans are not very good - they came out of the Sunset Sheds and Garages book - and the buildiner is just kind of doing it his way to make it look my way. More or less. It's taller than the book because the doors are taller, and in the book it was 8x10 and ours is 9x13. This thing is going to be super sturdy - not a home depot shed at all, but pretty close to the same price (except for my glass doors which cost a fortune). They are just doing the outside and then we will insulate and sheetrock it and put a floor in ourselves. Yes, if it only had a bathroom, I could live in it! I'm so excited... but no progress yesterday. The doors come monday and I suspect they will finish the roof monday too. I hope!

It is fun to watch the process. Wish we had someone doing my shop. We are doing it all ourselves but it will be rewarding when done. The cabinets are the next step....
I adore your design. You will love having some sort of patio or porch. I had a picnic table near the door of my other shop and it was so handy. Trust me.... your shop will fill up fast. What are your plans for oxy/propane tanks and ventilation??

Yes, I need to think about cabinets too - my old storage system is being used in the basement, so I'll have to come up with something new. We are going to build a 2x4 workbench to put my stainless top on... and then I was thinking of just an ikea armior to store my glass in.
I have an oxycon and everything I need from my old studio except the ventillation - I had to leave it at the old house - but that's ok because it was so loud I didn't love it. This one I'm doing something funky - I have a blower on order from grainger and I bought a $20 galvanized tub to use as my hood rather than gutting out a kitchen hood. Will have to hook all of that up, not sure how it's all going to work out but I thought it would fit the whole garden studio theme
