We are ripping the baseboard trim and priming. We just finished caulking in all 14 windows. 8 tubes of caulk sealed the interior trim. It’s been snowing a lot lately so the roads are too muddy for walking. Nice beautiful sunny day for warming up the studio and drying up the road.

Harry is hanging 4 LED lights at the four corners of the studio. T’Alyne is caulking the windows and priming the wood trim on all the windows and doors.Great sunny day for the solar heat gain through the south windows.

Today is a beautiful sunny winter day in the mountains. Windy but warm. Just the other side of the mountain range is a snow storm. It’s nice inside the studio for getting the details done. We are working on the counter top and back splash of the work sinks.

Thank you from the mountain top! Rememberng the help we had pushing up this wall! The video clip on YouTube is another inspirational moment during the construction. Click to view.

its amazing and so nice to receive positive feedback from viewers, Thank you @busybecca for sharing the news and your supportive message. We love hear from you!

We are mindful of our budget at every moment. Harry is ripping down the 4x8 sheets for the window trim.

We have the studio all wired. Plumbing is complete with 3 work sinks. Bathroom sink and toilet plumbing are completely done.

We are so lucky we have a friend with a big trailer! It took the full trailer plus a load in the back of the pickup. Drive time was two hours to Home Depot for pickup and return of materials. R-19 in the walls and ceiling. This will help keep the building and art supplies warm in the winter. Our planned heat source is going to be either solar powered electric base board or solar hot water baseboard.

The metal roof installation was fast! Wonderful series of progress shots. Thank you to Toby and Harry for the installation hard work. There were no slips as the roof is at a low pitch. Solar gain will be perfect with the excellent Southern exposure and roof angle.

Exterior button up and interior electrical work by Harry Anderson. Window installation was a breeze for Harry. Many thanks to Doug French, soybean farmer in Kansas for donating 5 of the stationary horizontal windows. We re-purposed several sets of french-doors to create the large stationary windows. These will be great for heat gain during the winter months when the directional level of the sunlight is low. T'Alyne will be utilizing these upper windows to play with the natural light during studio production. The corner windows are all double  high efficiency and perfectly situated to utilize good air-flow throughout the working space. Solar panels will be situated on the metal roof top.
