Construction
Photography
Planning
for the studio construction was started at the end of May 2002. Construction
started on June 20th, and was finished in the middle of August. The people
who worked on it were:
Phil Coker and crew: Framing and Drywall
Jesse Cabrillo: Electrician
Jessica Lofthus and Julia Parmenter: Painting, plastering, and visual
design.
Danny Gould: Design consultation and general help.
John Lyon Paul: Long distance design consultation.
And of course my Mom, Wendy Love,
who did the layout, plans, and design of the whole shabang.
| This is the what we started with on the first day door You ever had two guys come over and cut a hole in the side of your house? It's a little freaky. |

| Just before lifting up the 1st wall... |  |
| Just after lifting the 1st wall. It was seriously heavy. |  |
| This is about halfway through the framing. |  |
| Me doing insulation at 4 in the morning, which is kind of like stapling large wet blankets to the wall. Except not as much fun. This was taken on the 4th of July! |  |
| This is during the Drywall phase. That's phil's son. |  |
| Do you know what it's like to come downstairs and see your studio looking like this? |  |
| painting with the help of Julia and Jessica. |  |
| We finished with the painting and the carpet, which I did myself. And it only took me 12 hours. That's my trusty shop vac R2 there. Never do something like this without one. |  |
| of course the coolest thing about having your own studio is getting to hang your guitars on the wall. |  |
