if these walls could talk
today we yanked out all the electrical stuff in the studio area as well as the remaining drywall and insulation. the exterior walls are coated with this black tar-like waterproofing substance. if you look at one of the walls in just the right angle, it says "FUCK YOU" in big letters. i've never had a wall curse me out before. i'm not sure how to process that.
it's been getting progressively more difficult to light the space as we go from white walls and recessed lighting to black (or at least very dark) walls and worklights. i picked up a couple of 250W halogen worklights today. they seem to give off a lot of light, but a lot of it just gets sucked up by the walls. it's not too terribly bad during the day when we get at least some daylight into the space, but evenings can make for difficult vision.
