And the build goes on.
This is my portion of the space.
This is part of the space that I'm renting out on a permanent basis. It has 2-3 wide desk bays for office and creative space. It's a 60' long space 11' wide, 16' ceilings with a huge window at the end.

Building and Building and Building... Ad infenitum.
Yes, the build goes on. In case you were wondering where I've been or why you haven't heard from me (and I know you're all desperate for my attention) I lost my lease on the studio in Williamsburg back in April and I recently moved into new digs in Dumbo.
The new space is awesome! It's 2400 sq. ft. with 16 ft ceilings column free. I moved my entire studio in a weekend and then left town for 10 days. I came back to my entire world under a few badly assembled drop cloths and a thick layer of white dust.
And a truck parked in the space and no lights and mold on the ceiling and leaking windows and no bathrooms and a roll gate without a front door.
And the build goes on.
It turns out that building a couple of bathrooms is just slightly more difficult than passing a kidney stone the size of an apple.
Four tries and they still fucked it up. Finally they just gave up and started building what I can only descrobe as an Dr. Seuss set of plumbing. No erector set, no tinker toy construction, no high school meth lab has ever given a man cause to do that innocent pieces of galvanized steel and rubber.
And somehow I agree to build the bathroom if they'll just fix the plumbing one last time.
The build goes on.
A couple of days into me building the deck for the bathroom. The pipes for the plumbing are all above ground. A little help from Carrie and Steven of a Sunday afternoon.
A week and ten thousand years... The walls go up. Well, some of them.
M. Deurline and Mrs Caroline T. help me sling some drywall! Genuine progress is made.
Tuesday. I am broken. I surrender my DIY spirit and hire contractors to get 80 ft of 16' high wall up. Totally worth it.
