The studio has been gutted. EVERYTHING disassembled and removed. The friend who was helping me was agape at the pile of cable we pulled from the back of the equipment rack, and he said "This is the most wire I've ever seen in a civilian installation. Ever. I took a phone photo of one of the Big Piles O' Wire; I intend to keep a photo log of the process, I'll post some before & after shots as the process continues.

Tomorrow, we pick a paint color--the room wasn't repainted when we moved in ten years ago, and it just seemed a tragedy not to take the only opportunity we'll have for a while to paint the danged thing. Drove me nuts working with the swatch book; the artificial light in the room is pretty crappy (guess we'll be replacing that too), and as I walked from room to room looking at the swatches, I could actually see the swatches changing color as I moved through the house and passed under different kinds of light bulbs. Tomorrow morning, we'll let Mr. Sun show us what the swatch book really looks like. A shopping trip for a carpet (probably I'll go for an industrial remnant, nice and cheap and reasonably indestructible).

Man, I'm tired. What a day.
