Got my blog set up today.  Not sure if everything is working.  And I probably have a few more plugins to install.  But it’s time to get this thing fired up and running.

I spent most of the day working on the exterior of my studio.  I had taken out an 18-foot wide, 11-foot high roll-up door and replaced it with walls on either side of 10-foot swinging doors.  That was covered with a layer of OSB (oriented strand board or “wafer” board), a layer of sheetrock and another layer of OSB.  Every layer had to be caulked to make it air tight.

This is where building a studio requires perseverance.  Much more time was spent on the details like caulking than was done on the big stuff.  Even though you are steadily working on it, a casual glance doesn’t show that anything has been done.  Putting exterior siding on today changed that.  There was a big change.

Of course, I’m not done yet.  There is more caulking to do.  Then painting.  Then weatherstripping (which doesn’t show at all).  And dozens of other things.  But I’m excited.  In a few weeks I’m hoping to put the studio to work.
