IT'S DONE

The set is done. We are so utterly sick of working on the thing that bringing ourselves to fix any minor problems with it is a hurculean task. It came together pretty well, though; all the little glitches and color mismatches have worked themselves out.

Myself and some-times collegue Andy Warren went down on Tuesday and took the tables/counters apart, and cleaned up the mess. Now we're ready for bluescreen action.

Here's a rough breakdown of man hours invested into the thing:

Total days spent in the studio (averaged at 7 hours each): 45

Days with two people: 6

Days with three people: 10

Trips transporting materials (at 3 hours apeice): 4

Hours gathering materials (moss, bark, etc.): 12


Grand total: 520 hours.

This doesn't begin to give one a sense of the human cost; about ninety hours plus on the bus, the cold Chef Boyardee mini ravioli eaten right out of the can, the waiting in the rain, the dirty looks from yuppies as we liberate the moss from their local park.

It was fun, generally speaking.
