Good ideas: get eyebrow implants or brow tattoos, throw away some t-shirts & cut my finger nails/ear/nose hairs, & seriously begin seriously throwing away most of that crap in the garage (the would-be studio), & hairbrush all the cushions the cats love to sleep on, & take the Prius in for service.

Of course there are various snags beyond the upside-down working situation, head on wall or even harder tile floor, such as frozen bottom lock nuts, narrower pre-installed flex water lines, 3 trips to the hardware store, a continuing leak at one of the new wall connectors (reapply teflon tape &/or brushable teflon sealant 4X, the hot water line), a crazy zig-zag main outlet drainpipe w/another slight leak...
