Studio D: Day 20

I decided to try something I haven’t done since Tali was born… a good long bike ride! Apparently Studio D is on the summit of a small mountain. Yep, turns out it was pretty much all uphill, or at least that’s how it seemed.

But I made it safe and sound, and felt invigorated by the cardio, which should help me with getting into better shape, which is something I’ve been working on for a while now.

So my whole visit was a day of preparations: scraping, taping and mudding the walls. I got the first coat entirely done… prepped and ready for sanding on Day 21.

I feel like I’m a fairly quick study. I mean, I was much more confident with my mudding today, and much faster too.

It’s really starting to come together and look good!

Studio D: Day 18

I received an email from Robert after I told him the water was still coming in: he visited the studio again after hours to try to track down where the water may be coming from.

He explained some of the things I could do to help prep the area for him to come back and fix the problems, so my daughter Tali and I visited the studio with a couple of wire brushes and compressed air to start cleaning the joints, ready for that “cementitious compound” Andy told us so much about on Day 4 (sorry if that sounds pretentious).

So, while I did what we set out to do, Tali built a habitat for a tiny toad we found outside the fire exit door.

Oh yeah, and we learned that apparently, Studio D mice can chew holes directly through concrete!

Check it out!
