turnip, i have a dual head card in my computer so i put a second monitor in the booth. i have a wireless mouse so i just bring the mouse in the booth when i'm recording. it's a very handy setup. i'd go crazy running in and out so i made sure to have a second monitor in the booth. saves quite a bit of time in the end.
teacher, you know what? building the frame was the easiest part of the project. just nailing boards together. plus i don't know if i'd have been able to fit the fully framed walls down the stairs. next time i'm just gonna spec it out and have someone else do the whole thing for me. can't be more than a couple days work for someone with all the right tools and experience.
