Abyss, with 100lb dogs, nothing would make your guitars safe from them. As for cats, you should see the cover on the Peavey speakers, the cats think its their scratching pad. hahahahaha
bugoy and edge, just looks big. I think the drum kit makes it look big. That Tama Stagestar is really a small kit. Altho for the size of the room, it's good enough for rehearsing. The room is small enough that everytime my gf comes down when we are rehearsing (there's 4 of us), she says "this room reeks of musician's sweat." lol
BTW, I think my next addition to the studio would be a bar fridge so we don't have to go upstairs for drinks.
