2016 - Rebuilding the studio

Jump forward a few years... I've moved between various rentals a few times and now my studio home is finally becoming reality!

The plan has changed countless times. We've now scrapped the idea of moving the existing frame and are instead going to lift it up and excavate the earth underneath so that the existing slab can be extended and topped off to make a level foundation - always helpful when building ;)
So the floor plan will look something like this:

We begin...

and in no time at all, there's a building taking shape.

 

Studio Update I

poor little studio :(

Ok, so obviously it cannot stay where it is! With one corner stuck in the mud and a distinct lack of any foundations, my little studio needs to be lifted up and carefully reassembled in a safer location

you can see the amount of earth that had
to be scraped away from the eastern side

hello termites, goodbye termites

Ooo, fancy. A panorama of a derelict shed.
Wait, that's my future house!

I like good ventilation but this might be going too far...

The possible new site of my studio has been carefully selected:

It will be closer to the house (in case of emergency laundry access) but also, it is likely to take a while for me to save my pennies for a kitchen and a bathroom.... so I'll be be living like a squatter and sneaking in to use the main house amenities until the Ginger Kelly Studio Studio is complete.

This is the studio space as I imagine it, using the existing frame. 

Now, if money were no object...

I'll keep you posted
