originally, my landlord had stared to turn the building i am using as a studio into a parking lot. this is the northern wall, away from the street, where my friend the ghetto master had started to put his mighty hammer to work. I would have an entire other room if i had stopped him a few days earlier.

this has always been a neglected area since no one else can really see the space. When it was just me using the studio I didn't mind it being a mess, but now that I am inviting people to come here for classes I had to work on it. The old wall had three separate, loosely fitting sheet metal doors with one broken window for lighting. In order to go upstairs you had to go outside, jump down 2 feet into a pile of rocks and crawl over a half-demolished bathroom floor.

this is the original rear wall of the building. half of this was an INSIDE wall to a bathroom. weird. maybe ill put black sheetmetal walls in my shower too.

starting construction.i broke the sledgehammer a couple times knocking out the bathroom foundation.

95% of the materials I used to build this the ghetto master gave me.

here i put in the floor. its hard to see but i also took out the ceiling partitions in the ceramics room. doorways are always 5 feet 11 inches tall here. without the dividers between the rooms mine are now 7 feet tall.

i'm putting a roof on it tomorrow
