We decided to do as much as possible ourselves and I was able to really use the project to learn alot about building and patience. I had help putting in all new plumbing (water and drain lines) but all the rest was done by us. The part that was the most exciting was the tile work on the floor and going three feet up the walls. I used old roofing slate (from a house on my back acre) that I cut down to a nice size and then grouted and sealed them. It is a perfect use for the old slate... I believe that I could build my own cabin and studio now...
The round piece of slate in the picture was found that way being used as the bottom of an old metal bucket whose bottom had rusted out!
