baby, what's in that satchel?

today i agreed to help eric of studio612 fame do some renovation work on his new house. the previous owners had built a really shonky extension to the original house and eric wanted to convert this hovel into his studio space. the ultimate goal is to insulate the place, drop the ceiling, add some windows and lighting, build a sideboard and overhaul the bathroom.

this is exciting because despite being at archi-school for years, i've never built anything this big in my life!

today was a half-day (my bad) but we did succeed in sorting out what to do with the really oddly-designed bathroom, as well as putting up the first primary beam and the associated secondary beams. this is more work than it sounds like.

be sure to check back here for progress! all one of my remaining readers ^__^
