Much of today was spent acquiring electrical and flooring supplies for the studio as well as doing some reconnaissance for exciting things like exhaust fans, tile, vanities, etc. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
daecabhir as done an amazing amount of research into making sure that the studio will be properly and safely lit, powered, and exhausted. He lugged heavy boxes of floor tile, picked out wiring, light fixtures, and took notes about fan recommendations and other helpful information. The Prius was riding pretty low on the way home but everything fit in it just fine - even six boxes of eight-foot long light fixtures.
Wonderful bit of kismet in Lowes today - the *very* helpful young man in bathroom section asked my for one of my cards. When I handed it to him, he exclaimed that his fiancee loves my pottery. A bit shocked, I ask how she had heard of me. Turns out that she bought a few pieces at the Virginia Renaissance Faire! Small world, indeed.
My pottery studio really doesn't look like a studio anymore. The dust barrier is down and many items have been moved out (although there is still more to move). The kiln is running a bisque fire as I type and once the kiln is emptied and cooled down, it will get moved too.
The contractor - Reade Clayton - is due on Thursday to start work on both my studio and our master bathroom so things will be busy and even more hectic.
In knitting news, I have completed my first 2013 holiday gift (and yes,dreamtigress, I still owe you your 2012 knit goody). Renee from the Ravelry looming group is putting together a mystery shawl loom-along and I can't wait to start it.
Health-wise, my back is pretty screwed up at the moment and we're not sure why, I've gotten two rounds of injections and will need to go back for more. My right arm is sore and bruised - Stephanie, Dr. Truong's PA, has done two rounds of acupuncture on it but it's not getting better so I will Dr. Truong herself this week to see if we can figure out what the heck is going on.
