There’s a hole in my life
24 09 2008Or rather, there’s one heck of a hole in our yard. I’ve come back home from my painting trip to find that they’ve started digging for the new studio! Let the games begin 
The red dots in the photo below roughly indicate the footprint of the studio, which will be a 16×28′ structure. You might be able to make out another small light colored dot just beyond the lower right red dot. This is a stake for a 4′ deep portico that will run the depth of the building and come off of one end to face the house and future patio.
There is an alley that sits just beyond our fence. This end of the hole is where my painting area will be. The trench in the foreground is for the plumbing, and (I believe), the electric too. Inspections have to take place at each stage along the way during this process.
The back half of our fence had to come down to let that big digger in. This is the fence that’s still standing. Below the fence are all the flower pots I moved that were sitting around our back porch. Dave said he didn’t think we’d have to move them, but I did it “just in case”. Good thing! Good too, that I hadn’t yet done any landscaping in our back yard!
Will post again soon with a drawing of mine that shows what I’ve come up with for the layout.

How exciting!
Hello Jennifer, I have just started visiting your blog, and I am excited for you, building a new studio!!! wow. Good luck with all the work, I hope it all goes well for you! I’ll be looking forward to seeing the progress. Debbie
Thanks Molly and Debbie. It is exciting and a little scary for some reason. I don’t quite know why. I know I’ll love having my studio right out my back door, once it’s done. It’s all the mayhem in the interim that I’m not quite sure I’m prepared for. Still, it’s all good stuff.
Aren’t you the lucky one! This is exciting!
Thanks for sharing in my excitement Dianne. The rain these last couple of days have stalled things a bit and everything’s been covered with a big tarp. We’re expecting sunshine all this week though, so hopefully we should be able to get back on track.
