Thank you for your kind words Westwood.
To be fair I couldn't have done it without my wife, she has been fantastic. She has had the odd low spell but has put up with constant upheival and living out of boxes! There are not many woman who would have put up with it.
Yes I've lived in here since the start of the building. It has cost me around about £30,000 to do all the work. I get around about £5,000 a year for renting my house. I intend to live here until the rent from the house has paid for the whole project. I have been here for 3 1/2 years so 2 1/2 more and the studio will have wonderful accommodation and it won't have cost me a penny! Hopefully we will be able to move out just as the accommodation and studio are starting to get booked more solidly. Incidently my house is only 40-50 yards away so I haven't got far to go!
I have upgraded the equipment quite a lot too but that has been paid for by selling the old equipment and money I have made from the studio. I have kept the studio really quiet as I haven't wanted to get too much work in as the place wasn't finished but the later part of the year I hope to advertise and make a push on marketing the studio. I had the first band in using the accommodation about a month ago and have another couple booked in for pretty much all of July without any marketing at all so lets hope my master plan pays off!
Am I insane, yes quite possibly
