One of my covid projects has been to fix up a stall in our little barn to be a pottery studio for my wife. It has been a VERY slow process, giving me a project that has lasted for the biggest part of a year. I started with a rather rustic stall without doors, windows and only three walls. Over time I managed to put in another wall separating the space from my “shop” (really just the barn), insulated, sheet-rocked, changed the lighting and a few other odds and ends. I think it came out well. The MINI-Split HVAC isn’t installed yet, but it is close. Here are a couple of photos:
It turned out nice enough that I am not sure I want to “give it up.” I think it could make a pretty pleasant office or perhaps a “man cave”. I have a work bench that will be installed under the windows looking out into the back yard. The windows with small panes look into my shop area, not to the outside. I liked the old windows and didn’t have an outside wall for them, so I put them into an interior wall. It was a pretty fun project, I only worked on it an hour or two at a time to fit into my other projects. The reason for the low ceiling in the alcove is that it makes an overhead storage space in my shop.
