The overall structure itself is 14 x 22 with the ceiling angle beginning at 8 feet (I think...)

Acousticado - yah, I will post pics when it's all done. There was originally a shed in the backyard built in the 50s made of old growth redwood. I took that apart board by board (and spider by spider) and saved as much of it as I could for the trim and one wall and such. Ray Bradbury said "Go to the edge and jump and build your wings on the way dawn". I used to make a living playing music but woke up one morning and was a single Dad. So the last 20 years have been Dadhood (which I wouldn't trade for anything) but last year everything converged at the same time so I quit the day job, moved down to California from Alaska, and am building the studio and touring to play music full-time again.

My Dad says he goes out onto the porch every morning to listen to me screaming "Where are my wings?! Where are my wings?!"

:-p

Haha! Seems like you’ve paid your dues and are about to re-realize your dream. Good on ya!
