The doors are installed (thanks for the help, Alfred!). I’m now moving stuff in, and very soon will have a clean slate in the garage. :-)
I’ll have more tabula rasa pictures of the garage soon….

The shed is now almost completely enclosed. Here is the only portion still awaiting siding:
I also installed a trimboard between the existing garage and the new shed. Eventually these 2 wood tones will get closer as the new wood ages:
Here’s more of the trim work, getting all the angles right from the two pitched slopes [...]

The storage shed is nearing completion. Roof is done (thanks Matthew!), most of the siding is up, only some trim remains. After I finish the trim, all that’s left is to build the door, and build the shelves inside the shed. Then I can move all the crap from the garage in and get electricity [...]

More progress on the shed. The last wall is built, and all the roof joists are in place:
I have all the necessary materials to build the roof, and a friend coming over Monday to help me do it. With luck, all I’ll have left after Monday is to skin the shed, build the door, and [...]

Today was very strange, almost supernaturally so. It was extremely bright outside; when I went to investigate there was this large, yellow, fiery ball in the sky. It was frightening actually; I could feel the heat from its fire. I do hope we aren’t doomed to combust in a cosmic fireball from the gods….
Anyway, I [...]

Three weeks since the last update, eh? That’ll learn me. In the ensuing three weeks since then, there has been LOTS of rain so I haven’t been able to work. Also my parents were in town, my daughter had a birthday and a dance recital (and associated parties)… lots of things going on socially.

No photos, but just a quick update. I got the spacer boards cut and installed this morning. I also ordered the next round of lumber (floorboards, and 2×4s to begin framing). w00t!
EDIT: I now have photos relevant to this entry:

Just a quick update. The concrete seems to have cured nicely. Over the weekend, I fastened the beams to the concrete, and build the deck on top of the beams. I still have to trim the spacer boards between the joists, to keep them from flexing down the road. It was very rainy today so [...]

OK, I want to keep a build diary of the studio I’m working on. I’ve learned a lot from various build diaries, mostly on the amazing John Sayers forum. So perhaps this diary will help someone. I will likely mirror the diary that I keep here on that forum, or possibly the TapeOp forum or [...]

Exciting news. This week I’ve officially begun construction of the Crafted Recordings studio. Details on the studio build (including photos) will be posted soon (either here or somewhere else, I haven’t decided where).
The studio is a one-room design, suitable for small ensemble recording, overdubs, and of course mixing and mastering. It will be soundproofed, so [...]
