Plans are to pour the pad on Monday — that is if we don’t get too much rain tonight. I usually don’t try to wish the rain away, but it is supposed to turn to snow overnight so I am hoping that happens quickly as a little snow will not create as many problems as rain will.
On Wednesday morning the studio was a flat spot with a deep trench going from it to the utilities at the house.

By Wednesday afternoon, the form for the pad was taking shape and the trench was filled in so we could drive in and out of the garage again.

By Friday the site was ready for its first inspection which it passed with flying colors, of course. And on Monday, if all goes well with the weather, the pad will be poured — but with the prediction of rain for the weekend, my ever vigilant contractor, Eric Lara had his crew cover it with heavy duty plastic before I could take a picture of it.

I did get a quick picture of the hot air balloon as it passed by early Friday morning as we were leaving an outing with our grandson to see the Tucson Rodeo Parade.

How big will it be? Looks like a nice size for you.
The building itself is basically an over-sized single car garage with windows (it will have a garage door for ease loading/unloading and flexible future use of the building) – 14′ x 24′. There is an 11′ x 24’covered porch as well for the future gas kiln and whatever else I decide to use it for. I will need to make efficient use of the space, but it is a good size for me and more space than I am used to.
