I just committed my first post from the new location where
I moved both my studio and résidence in Gralla!


The telephone and internet services were installed today and,
today too, I will sleep in the new place making it a new beginning
after a long, costly, and horrible divorce.

It is an old farm house of 120 m² habitable space and the stu-
dio got 55 of them. The great atmosphere of the place contrasts
with the modern technologies in the studio and PP room so very
pleasantly.

Adjacent, on the property, a fairly large "L" shape building of some
1,150 m² with a great roof hight of 9.6 m over a 600 m² offers cool
potential for elaborate and complex studio setups.

If of any interest, I might take some photos of the site, the studio,
and the converted barn!

I first went to Austria back in the winter of 68/69 when I went skiing for the first time. Loved the country but despite working regularly in Munich in the mid-late 70s and often crossed over to weekend in Innsbruck and Salzburg, IneI never got down to your new home area til 1994 when I spent 3 days in Graz. It is still on my bucket list of 'to do' areas.

I shall watch out for your posts when/if you decide to share.

Good luck with the new start. Done it a couple of times myself!

All the best @Kodiak Qc sorry for the circumstances but hopefully a great start to a new year! Would be great to see the space!
 
Hope the new place works out well for you, though I'm really sorry to hear why you needed it. Hope things work out Daniel - no wonder you've been up all hours of the night.
 
All you need now is a house warming party for the TP lads and some large breasted Austrian frauleins serving up the beer to put a smile back on your face and ours
 
Hope the new place works out well for you…


Thanks, Toni! :)

I've been moving stuff out for quite some time now and, today,
it was time to move it all in.

I hired a team to clean the house through and through this mor-
ning… they needed 6 hours and they did wonders. When they
left, it was my turn to get busy as, in my plan, the whole thing
should be up and running at the end of the month.
 
Enjoy your new space, it sounds phenomenal.



Thanks m8! :)

Yes, the place is very cool but one thing is not right
— very important for a Canadian —

NOT A SINGLE TREE ON THAT OLD FARM! :eek::eek::eek:
 
…and some large breasted Austrian frauleins…serving up the beer…


You got the wrong customer, Jeff, I don't like beer! :confused:

Moreover, when I was at the uni, I was with Èvelyne — a beautiful
girl in every way. Our friends, though, thought she had too little
breasts and were kidding a lot about them. I didn't know what to
answer to their jokes but, since she was not troubled, I let it be
and laughed too as there were some darn good ones! :D

We all met an old lady, at a garden party, that did not speak French
but got that my gf was the target (again) of their playful humour. When
she was translated the situation, she was already standing behind sit-
ting Èvelyne. Unexpectedly, she cupped her both breasts gently and
said: —"Don't worry my dear, more that a handful is a waste!"

Since then, I like them all but I still have a preference for small ones! :)

LOTS of your neighbours seem to have swimming pools


You got the right spot, Carl! :)

The red rectangle shows the new place where studio
and residence are with the "L" shape building. The
yellow triangle is showing the direction to the marsh
some 3 km away.

Thanks for the link! :cool:

The day I met my wife she was wearing a t-shirt with “small ones are more juicy” written across the chest!



… then, why the unhappy grin? :D
 



With my operation shot down — over the time that is the low season
anyway — I've been working up to 18 ~ 20 hours a day to bring the
move to a happy end on January 31st as I hope to be ready to go back
in business by then.

I planned an official "opening party" for my corporate clients and some
friends on February 10th (and my birthday on the 13th).

All the gear is in corner of the studio waiting to be set up soon. Every
time I pass by, I see the 600 resting in the dark… I know that, like me,
it misses our frequent visit to the marsh. I took it out and we went for
one shot the other day…

Wild : One Shot Only…

there is even more snow now. Ok, back to work! :cool:
