I read it, I feel for you. I had no idea. I'm glad I'm self employed.
no worries, I chose this career with my eyes open and I love what I do, I just want to get over this PITA process and settle down somewhere.
Hey hey what's wrong with the Dakotas?
I was born and raised there, North Dakota that is. I should also mention North Dakota is enjoying one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation at the moment. You just need to learn to bundle up in the winter and enjoy mosquitoes and horse flies in the summer. :-D
I actually thought SD was beautiful in its own way when we drove through it. It's just that I grew up somewhere even flatter than the Dakotas (the Fens in the UK) and I've been a keen mountainbiker for my whole adult life, so I've no particular desire to live somewhere flat and surrounded by nothing much. Not to say other people don't like it, my folks absolutely love the open skies of the Fens, just not my cup of tea.
Anyway, snuck out to the garage(s) today and took a few pictures. Whoever made this garage arrangement must have been deranged as it's a 3 car space with room for one car! Thankfully we only have one car and lots of tools, so it works out perfectly for me.
the workshop room that takes up 2/3 of the 2nd bay
the press does get used, although it's main role is something heavy to lock my mtb to
2nd garage - haven't yet set up the anodising rig (got distracted fixing a bunch of problems with my commuter bike instead) so it's spread all over the place. Tarps were for covering pears, which have been my main bane for the last few weeks!
it's a pretty darn neat space, that's for sure and it's really handy both having frequently used tools together and rarely used ones tucked away in another room. There's even another garage and shed at the end of the garden, but they've fallen into disrepair. Crazy place.
