Last Saturday ,Pam and I left for San Antonio on a mission. Our project was to finish out a backyard Studio for her sister Linda. Linda had the studio built (OK its a Tuff Shed) about 18 months ago and was having trouble finding some on to finish it for her. So around the first of the year I told her I would come down and finish it out. We arrived on Saturday at about 2:00. by about 5:30 the building was wired. Now an electrician is going to come and make the connection between the building and her existing electrical panel. On Sunday we insulated and I cut a hole for the AC. On Monday we put up wall panels. We found a luan 1/4" panel that was perfect. On Monday afternoon we installed the floor. The floor was tongue and grove oak. It had been left over from another project at our house in Murphy. We then assembled some shelving for storage of materials and did a quick work around so she could have lights and AC until the Electrician got his part done.
As usual I took no before pictures and Pam took the afters. They are a little blurry around the edges but will give you some idea. of the room now. We returned to Dallas on Wednesday and have now moved to our back yard.
Storage was added at each end of the building in the form of 2ft platforms. There is a third light in the middle and slightly higher so there is a good distribution of light. We used daylight bulbs so the colors she is working with should run true.

We didn't get a picture of the floor.
To keep cost down we got creative with the trim. The main trim is oak flooring and the window trim is the same as the paneling. You can see the work around for the electricity. Sine there are lines in the their back yard I was not comfortable with digging or laying electrical. They need to call it in and have the lines marked and then hand dig the trench. Digging is not one of my favorite things.
Anyway one more project down. Many more to go.
Bruce and Pam
