Home Studio Under Construction

Chris and I have a deal, He makes the phone calls and kills bugs while I do the light handy work around the house. It’s a great system. This week we have been preparing to put a studio in our spare room. This is exciting not only because it will increase the quality of the show while at the same time save the ministry money, it also makes for a lot more flexibility. But all those benefits won’t come without some work.

First, we had to empty out the entire room which so far means all the useless stuff in the spare room has made its way to the living room for everyone to step over. After we had the countertop installed, the next 3 days consisted of sanding, staining, sanding, varnishing, sanding, varnishing, and sanding again before the third and final coat of varnish.

Thankfully, the mornings are now cool enough to work with the windows wide open. And since it is after Sept. 15^th, I was able to do the finishing work to the cheerfully-smooth Christmas sounds of Josh Grobin, Johnny Mathis, and Casting Crowns. (Another little deal Chris & I have)

So the counter is done, and while I have a wonderful sense of accomplishment, the room has a way to go before it’s a full blown studio.
