new digs!

I got a new computer! Yea! To be honest I didn't realized how badly I needed one until I started working on my new one...did you know that they go faster? Don't ask me how, Corey explained something about processors and blah blah blah...I just want it to work and be cute! Well it works, as for the cute part...PC you really need to take a note from Mac! I am very loyal to my PC, I have heard all about the pros and cons, but I am a creature of habit (is that even how the saying goes?)... and didn't think I would be up for the change, but seriously why can't we get a little color in there? Anyhoo...I love it, all the things that make it go fast and the big huge screen, which I noticed made my blog background cut off. Looks like I will need to work on that!

So here are a few pic's of the office...not much but it's clean and that like never happens!

I guess when your entire work week has to be rescheduled due to rain I had a little extra time to pick up before I took the pic's!

more on the building progress

Corey on the roof! I will be glad when he is done up there and I don't have to worry about him falling off!

Waylon has been a bit out of sorts with this whole building project. I think he is upset that I took away his view of the backyard with my studio. Don't worry buddy, we'll have a fence soon and you will have the run of the place!

3 walls and the beginings of a roof!

wall 2 of 3, oh man it was so fun to watch this go up!

Ahh, the rain was not our friend!

sub floor installation

here is the insulation finished, just before it started to rain...whew!

Corey hard at work! We had to race against time to get the floor insulation in so that the builders could put the subfloor in the next day! I had to poke these wire things in that are called tiger teeth, which is what holds up the insultation. Go me!

This is the heating and AC ducts.

here are a few more pic's to show our progress. From here it will go much slower, because we will be doing most of the work. Corey has been working on the roof and it is slow going, but we should be done by the end of the week. Then we will start on the siding and painting along with the gutters. I must say I am a little anxious to get the inside done so I can start to paint and buy furniture and actually use the space! Well I guess all good things come with time! Sorry I know this is the longest post of all times!

whoo hoo!

Before

I was in Wyoming last week shooting some of my clients children, and visiting my mom! It was so good to be back and see where I grew up! Unlike Oregon, not much if anything has changed!

While I was gone, Corey was home and super busy! Here is a look at the progress of the studio! I can't believe it is finally happening, we have talked about it so much and now it's here!

Framing will go up today, so it will start looking more and more like an actual room.

More to come...

Coming Soon!

I am so very excited! We just signed for the construction loan and can start building the new studio! Hooray!!! It has been talked about for so long I am sure all of you were thinking it would never happen! Well keep an eye out - we'll be starting construction by the end of May, and hopefully by mid-summer the new studio will be up and running! I will be posting pic's of the progress!
Stay tuned!
