This "hobby room" is gonna be 11.6 X 7 metres = 81.2 sq. m.
That should be enough for a CR and a LR.
Concrete slab, double brick walls (no gap between bricks) and cement roof tiles are the main structural details of the studio. Well the 4 walls and the roof are the only things on the plans anyway

The walls are 3.6 m high with the highest ceiling point at 5.3 m.
So as I said, the works have started....you guess it..I've been digging, digging and...digging. The trenches 4 the footings have to be 40 cm wide and 50 deep

Working 10-11 hours mon-fri doesn't help much, but the money earned does a little bit. ...so I better shut up and suffer..

I am however close to completing these trenches and I hope to pour some concrete into them soon.
It was close to impossible to get any of digging machines up to where I am building (with my carport still in place) so I decided to do it by hand and save some money as well. Friends and old man are helping as much as they can so that's encouraging too

We will do most of the stuff ourselves. The things I am planning on hiring tradies for are brick laying and roof construction, eventhough I might get some good help with the roof too. I just wanna get the roof onto this thing, and then It'll be easier once I start doing the inside of it ( I hope it will anyway)...I still think the hardest part is digging the footings
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
I will try to take some pics as we progress and post them once we've actually done something that's worth looking at...and now I'll go back to shovelling..oh no it's 10:15 at night...but yeah probably in my dreams anyway
