Going way back to the beginning, April 2016. The studio is built on land we own in Mineville, NS (Canada), just outside of the city of Halifax.
We have 10 acres of former farmland here (previously a strawberry farm), with water frontage and a combo of cleared land and forest, far from the road and very quiet.
First step is to tear down an old building where the new studio will go. The roof trusses and walls were removed whole and given away to be re-assembled elsewhere, rather than go in the landfill.
At the same time, a road is being cleared so we can access the power line to install a new transformer.
