So I like to try to do things on my own, probably stems from being told I cant do this or that most of my life. Its an awesome feeling for me when I do something and it works. Well, I decided I wanted to turn my one car garage into somewhat of a studio. Bare in mind this has been going on for about a week and a half now. I bought a type of flooring kind of like a particle board (on advice from a home depot salesperson) and some primer and then some vinyl tiles....enough to create a 6x6 floor and then a 6x6 backdrop. Everything went fine I followed manufactures directions did everything like the directions said. Then came the problems (guy on shoulder begins laughing and saying I told you not to do this....I hate this guy) First I ran out of one of the colors so I went to HD in town and they were out and it was discontinued. Then we entered into a heat wave...all the tiles on the backdrop fell off. so I went out and bought some adhesive triple streangth I will get them suckers up and they will never come down. I need some room so I can lay down the backdrop so I put the floordrop up next to the wall because the tiles have been walked on they are stuck I cant move em they are good to go. so I did that this morning the hottest day of the heat wave guess what happened...yep all the tiles began to fall a few hours into the heat. I hear that guy on my shoulder again....shut up dude I aint in the mood. So now I am going to have to replace ALL the tiles with this glue.....dude on shoulder is just shaking his head at this point. Top all this off and the electric in the house is doing something funky.....only four outlets in the upstairs portion of the house are working.....my buddy the electrician is walking me thru it and says I have dropped a neutral somewhere we just have to figure out where so we are doing this via the phone and right in the middle of it I catch bronchitis down and out for the week. Guy on my shoulder is just laughing at me.....I really hate him now. Well tomorrow is another day, I think I will try to go redo the boards after work. And I think I will just see if my buddy will let me pay him 100.00 to come over and walk me thru the electric problem. The guy on my shoulder likes the electrician idea but rolls his eyes at the boards.....I will show him lol. Sorry for the rant just wanted to share an experience with you all haha. So I have the cowboy lighting kit I don't want to break the bank but I'm thinking about getting reflectors next any suggestions? Thanks.
