Thanx buddies... I actually started the built because of the diary section. I just wanted to share something and live my dream...

Breaking news, we rented the rest of the house. That adds 60 square metres plus 120 sqm attic with 4 m ceiling...

It's been a pleasure watching your build.
Seeing it go from just a dusty 'ol building, to a (almost) finished studio [with everything inbetween] has been a fun journey (especially since i didn't have to lift a finger! )

Thanks for documenting the process, and allowing us to take that journey with ya!


P.S. Got any plans for the newly aquired 'rest of the house' ?
