#TBT: Studio Beginnings, v.2.0

Posted on September 17, 2020September 17, 2020

Sometimes you forget how far you’ve actually come! My studio looks so much better now!

This was first posted September 20, 2009.

Here’s the south facing wall of my studio/aka the old chickenhouse…

The windows are covered in chicken wire…with traces of plastic sheeting left wafting in the breeze…The tiny picket door needs a latch to hold it closed…The wood door needs its hinges tightened so it doesn’t take a BIG SHOVE to open or close it…The pile of garbage to be hauled away will grow…Here’s a view from inside…

After a bit…it looks like this…

You enter the door and to the right are the nest boxes…and various unknown articles…

The front boards hide 3 inches of straw and chicken manure and dust…With a face mask, a hose, and bleach, I attack the nest boxes to turn them into shelving…

Lo! and behold…I like it!

Though they don’t sparkle yet…90% of the crud is gone…Another day of scraping and washing…and they’ll be ready for books and art supplies and treasures other than eggs…Who am I kidding?

It works now for chinking repair wood, hose nozzles, a hatchet, a fishing pole (just in case), and my first treasure an older license plate…I declare this MY territory!<<More on chinking repair in the days to come!>>
