set backs

I met with a friend today about the plumbing and heating situation in the studio. He told me what needed to be done. It just wasn't what I wanted to hear. Basically the studio needs it's own electrical service. Right now it is wired from the house in a bad way. It also needs it's own gas line. Same situation as the electric. Both are not too expensive, but more than I have at the moment. It also sets me back with finishing off the work area.
I did manage to score some blow in insulation from craigs list for a screaming deal though. I just missed out on a bunch of drywall. I have been keeping my eyes peeled for any deals. It looks like I'll need to scrimp and be very thrify for a while.

Next step is to take another look at the finances and re-formulate a plan.

too long

Man do I need to update more often. So here is what has been happening. I have been training for my Ironman race. Well trying too anyway. I have had injury after injury. So I am a little behind to say the least. On a lot of things.
As far as the house and studio goes. Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. I cannot believe the amount of garbage just laying around here. Over the weekend, someone came with their pickup truck and we filled it with all the metal I have found lying around. Chicken wire, sheet metal, pipes, you name it. I have been trying to get rid of a big pile of cinder blocks and broken cement too. Maybe that will go this week. I finally have the lawn picked up enough so I can mow it now. All of this is free for me to do of course. I did manage to get a deal on some blow in insulation from craigslist. Now I need somedrywall to do the ceiling, then I can blow it in. The space will be at least functional at that point. Far from ideal though. In two weeks I have a heating and plumbing guy to come give me some options and prices on heating and plumbing the whole place. Once that gets done, I can wire up for kilns, drywall and paint and then I will be in business. I need to start selling some stuff to pay for this.
Patience!
