Major Overhauls

Due to a minor but unfortunate flooding situation in my studio (also known as the former rec room in my mother's house), we have decided to take up the now-warping wood paneling and insulation on the floor, leaving bare concrete that we will paint with a concrete sealer. 

To be honest, this suits my needs fine because I won't have to worry that I am damaging the floors with a plaster/clay/glaze spill or by dragging heavy equipment.  Luckily this decision came at a time when I am taking a break from clay and cleaning up my studio and throwing out unhelpful clutter.

When I walked down there to begin the cleaning/moving process (I will put all things on one half of the room, deal with the other half's floors, and then switch), I almost walked out in despair.  Who knew I had all that stuff!  And in such a mess!  Then I reminded myself of my "One Step At A Time" resolution, identified my very first step (get a trash bag), and jumped in.  I refused to let myself think farther ahead than the next 2 minutes.

By the end of the day, I had made some serious progress!
