I've been keeping a secret (Patreon)

Hello everyone!  If you are able to read this, I can't thank you enough for sticking with me through some very hard months.  Even though I haven't posted content, I have been working hard on multiple videos AND keeping a secret that I have wanted to tell you about for a long time.  I have kept this a secret because I didn't want to mention it until it was almost done (in case anything fell through).   

Since late Dec, I have been having my basement renovated to turn it into a professional studio with sound proof walls and sound treatments, using my 2 years of Patreon donations and a massive portion of my own savings. It is my hope that I will be able to produce much more content at any hour, so that I can work on channel stuffs during the day, and actually sleep at night (instead of getting 4 ish hours a night---or no sleep at all on some nights).  

For the last three years, I have worked on real life obligations during the days, and then worked on videos and editing at night (to avoid any loud noises that would detract from your immersion or enjoyment (lawnmowers, cars, dogs barking, children playing, etc)).  This studio will allow me  to create videos at any hour, increasing my efficiency and output (and I might be able to sleep like a human being again, haha)---which will lead to you having more of the content you love at your eardrums.

I have never loved anything more than making these videos, and though I can't support myself on my channel alone, my dream is to be able to do it full time one day.  It was HUGE risk for me to do this, and it came at a great cost (even with years of saving your donations, I still utilized the majority of my own personal savings to do this), but if anything is worth the risk, it should be what you love, right?

 This channel is my heart, and your support keeps it beating strong, even through some of the hardest moments of my life.  I told you all I would do my best to make you proud, and I hope that is something you can celebrate with me and be proud of.  It was important for me to tell you first since your continued support keeps this channel going.  You are the life blood to this channel, and none of this would be possible without you.  I wanted you to see that I appreciate every one of you.  I don't take any donation for granted, and I put literally every cent donated back into the channel.  I can never thank you enough, but I hope that this is a start.  

 It's not 100% finished (not pictured are the massive acoustic sound panels with foam treatments that I am building by hand, 50 shelves of props, and all my equipment), but it's almost there, and once it's done and set up, I will be able to show everyone how much work has gone into this, just how seriously I take this, and how much I appreciate their support, with a video tour.  For now, I hope these pictures will do it some justice. There is still more work to be done, and I am basically starting over with my savings---which is frankly terrifying---but I am excited for the future that we are building together.  I could not and can not do this without you.  

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart and soul.
