I don't mind curves. Probably the best curve man alive.

I'm going to have to con someone to help with the plastering even though I'll have a panel lifter to do the ceiling the 3600 x 1200 panels are a bit big to unload off the ute by yourself.

Well Grumpy, with to help and a little less time spent on extremly amusing vids you might have the ceiling up soon. It looks like it's going to be a good studio
.

Day 4
After a day or three off to go to work
I was back working on the man cave. With 's help and a panel lifter hired from Bunnies we managed to get all the plaster up in five hours, not bad considering the tea breaks
, and a stop for lunch. Only a couple of minor issues that were corrected with the use of a hand saw, and don't let anyone tell you that you can't use an angle grinder on plaster
. Oh yeah, we almost put a couple of the ceiling panels on upside down
. The "short" panels were a result of a couple of 3600 lengths getting shortened on the way home from Bunnies (note to self: tie down the front of the panels next time). The offcuts from the door opening should fill the space nicely. reckons a nice leadlight window wouldlook good over the door.

Well done Grumpy. I think 's right, but what would be the effect on the lighting? Would it become too ecclesiastical for the underwear shoots? Oh err.. that might be stained glass.
No matter, I'm sure it would be very effective and a good alternative to that curvy thingy the young girl with the braces (is that what you call them) was demonstrating.

Day 5
Not much happening today. Made a start setting the joints and filling gaps, cut a couple of holes for downlights, then realised they were in the wrong place
. More of the same tomorrow.

"If a man is after money, he's money mad; if he keeps it, he's a capitalist; if he spends it, he's a playboy; if he doesn't get it, he's a never-do-well; if he doesn't try to get it, he lacks ambition. If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."
