During the week starting on the 14th of March 2021 the XONIKZ Twitch channel will be streaming on weekdays between 7 and 10 PM EST. The focus will still be on loft renovation but will begin to bleed into the smaller decor projects near the end of the week. The Twitch XONIKZ channel might be […]

The eastern half of the loft is now wrapped in it’s vapor barrier, a 6mil plastic over the fiberglass insulation. I finished up taping the seams and cleaned up the work space and some of the storage before having to call it a night. The next portion of the project will take place in the […]

That’s right, I just finished a ten-hour stream building the art loft again. I now have all of the insulation installed and the vapor barrier in place. I’ll poke at it off-stream just a little on Sunday, but I don’t have a day off for a while and wanted to make the loft heatable. Now, […]

Thanks to the handful of chatters that stopped in from all over the globe and […]
