Moving back to Bristol has brought many joys. The hills! The rain! Seeing people I actually know for the first time in two years!
We found a lovely little flat by the park, which has a mysterious door in the back garden... leading to a big old brick storehouse that the landlords hadn’t opened in a few years.
With a bit of persuading, they’ve cleared it out and given us the key. It’s home to some proper gnarly spiders and the roof is a little leaky, but it’s a really big space that deserves more than just being used for bike storage.
I want to build out a little home workshop, but I’m not exactly sure where to start. Any suggestions are welcome, but I’ll use this thread to track where it goes over the coming months. Anyone know how to build a workbench?
Oh, and what’s with the name? Well, I have what they used to call Aspergers and now probably goes by ASD. That’s all sorts of fun, but one way it manifests is that I often fall into temporary obsessions about very specific, usually bike-related things (the last one was finding the perfect front rack for my LHT). When I get like this, I’m basically wholly mentally absent for hours at a time, I forget to eat and can’t focus on anything else until the conundrum is solved. My partner describes that as the bike hole, so now I have a place where I can go do this in peace. I’ll keep a snack stash down there, just to be sensible.
