That is, turning it into a studio of a kind with sound equipment also. Would this be o.k do you think?

I trust you are going to use maple, mahogany, rosewood for your cabin :)

But seriously, I suppose there will be some kind of air conditioning in that studio?! If so, you should be alright and these kinds of things are going to help you:

I have also shopped at musician's friend, but it seems to me that wwbw do a better job of packaging (and they will match competitors' prices, just shoot them an e-mail).

Oh, and for your 514: have you ever tried this:

A friend of mine uses it and swears by it!

And while we are at it: crime (burglary) prevention @ your studio. I wouldn't keep all my gear in a place "out there" without enough protection and insurance.

Happy fretting!
