When I was younger I want to live in
home like Thomas Jefferson Monticello, which is about 11,000 square
feet.
But our home is 1,200 up and the
basement has the same amount of square footage. So one could say we have 2,400 square foot home. The basement isn't finished.
Compare to other place in world our
home in America are HUGE Then also we're the largest CONSUMPTION for our income.
Now there are people who desire to
shrink there consumption foot print and live with less.
And started a TINY home movement.
Although I know I wouldn't make enough
doing ceramic here in Bonners Ferry. I would be able to cover my rent
or my other over head; such as utilities, insurance, taxes and etc.
Not both
But having it in my home down in
basement.
I been playing around with figures for
my over head might be.
Last year I got the shed/barn sort out.
So before I put in shop I need to clean it out. So my first small
step before Christmas was to do a pre-organize before I go though.
But I dug out exercise machine. Not
sure what it really called. I call it a rolling machine. We're having
January thaw which usual happen after the middle of month and after.
So it slippery out on the county roads. Town road seem to be ok for
walking...Editor note..Photo of the exercise machine didn't come out
Under the stairs will be the last place
I will go though. Been though it a few times and most of the items
are things we could use. But can't get to them easily. Although not
saying everything is worth keeping.
Mixing up a batch of slip (liquid clay)
can be messy. I thought of just leaving pour table out in the
shop/garage and just casting greenware in late spring to early fall.
Sure having my pour table in a heat
area I could cast ceramic all year. An 8 by 8 room would work. The
biggest issue is ventilation. It would have to be done by window and
put in some type of exhaust system.
Murphy came up with the ideal of
building a separate room in basement for casting ceramics. Personal I
don't see I'll have that much room for a studio. I'm thinking a 20 by
20 area.
Coffee in mug taste the best in mug regardless of how much square feet you have.
Coffee is on
Nice blog! You really only need the amount of space that you use and are comfortable with.
ReplyDeleteI need more space for my art room. I have paintings and piles and frames stacked...awww heaven would be more room. Love pour over coffee..yummy goodness.
ReplyDeleteWell, my cave is 180 square feet. Plus lots of unheated storage areas. For the most part it works pretty well for me but I sure do wish I had a good area for sewing projects in the winter.
