Hi, all: I've got a story where the female lead is being introduced to WAM by her new boyfriend. He's taken her to a party, but she wants something more private. He takes her to his large condo but says it's not fit for wet and messy play. The following then transpires:

I took him to the room tucked away in the back. "This could be your WAM studio," I said.

Glen came into the room and looked around as if seeing it for the first time. I estimated it to be twelve by sixteen feet, an estimate which proved correct when we actually measured it. There was a window opposite to the door and a closet to the side. "It could indeed be a wet and messy studio," he said.

Next stop was the hardware store. We selected sheets of waterproofing material to go on top of the floor as well as a band which would connect with that material and go up and behind the baseboard. On top of this would go vinyl sheet flooring. We selected a tile pattern because we agreed that we both hated things that looked like wood but were in fact not wood. The salesman showed us how to use a specialty adhesive to weld the seams of the sheet flooring together. The vinyl didn't end at the wall, but rather went up the wall six inches. So now we had two waterproof layers on the floor.

For the walls and ceiling, we selected an epoxy paint usually used for garage floors. The salesman assured us that it was absolutely waterproof and that we could paint over it if we didn't like the color.

Then we went to a few specialty shops for furniture. Item one was an eight foot rectangular splash pool. Everything from water to slime would go into this. Next was an outdoor lounger. We had a look at some shower kits which he wanted for something he called a 'gunge tank' but I convinced him that we should get the basics installed first.

Glen arranged to have the epoxy paint applied during the week. Even though we felt we could do the flooring by ourselves, Glen hired a contractor to assist us. It took us most of the weekend to get the floor installed, especially since we had to take breaks to allow the glue to set.

We made a date for the following week for us to christen his studio.

So, fellow Wamers, Is the build realistic? It's an interlude between the party and the climactic scene of the story, not a 'how to' manual. But if I'm way off base in the design and build I've postulated, I love to be set straight prior to publication...

All comments gratefully received!

Sounds ok, if a little exaggerated...
Obviously fiction.

Generally my studio space developed over time...
From a spare room that operated part time to the full time space with a bit more effort.
It was still less effort than these guys put in.
