Hullooo, Mike, Good point! One I actually thought of after I hit the send button. My husband agreed to let me use half the wrecked room, I mean 'reck'reation room for a studio. (inside joke, the room has been a wreck for 9 years) His half will be partitioned off so his weight set and my stair stepper won't be in view. It's a nice space. 10' x 10' Just enough room to shoot and then I will store my equipment in the house. Not a far distance to move it to the "studio" when needed. I really do appreciate everyone's responses. Thank you very much! When it is finished, I will post a couple photos on my web site. Happy Shooting!
