OK, I'll bite. Here's some of my place (one of 4 buildings, all small ones).
This is what I see coming down the stairs to work.
- Coming downstairs to "work".
Unless I look in the other direction:
- Right side of shop
These leave off a couple machines and a ton of junk under the stairs....and so are flattering, kind of.
Here's the upstairs:
- View from my bed/kitchen area
And the other side:
- Rightside up
Downstairs is where we do the big stuff, and the main fusor is in the middle of the room.
Upstairs is for the "tinker" kinds of things. On the left is my primary electronics bench, and that black box on top of the small enviornment chamber I built is a heat treat oven.
On the other side is fusor 2, a super computer (Tesla, 1k cores), the electroplating line, and in the back the chemistry bench.
My wife doesn't complain about this (!), but then I do all the cooking, nearly all the cleaning, and of course pay for it all, while she watches TV mostly, when not out finding things to recycle for money. The couch in the upstairs pix is where I'm sitting while I type. I trade the stock markets all day every day -- you have to be "on it" these days to make money and not get killed at the game. This is a reason I post so much -- it's a boring job most of the time and here I am in front of a nice computer...
I have another building (trailer) full of computers where we used to do our consulting business. Now it's mostly just storage and a big reloading setup (I am a competitive shooter).
My wife gets her own small place to make her mess in, and there's a pure-storage building as well for less used stuff.
Sad to hear you were burgled, John. Way out here in the boonies, it can be an issue (about 4 vehicles a day on this road, they get time to work without being observed) -- thieves move here as it's fairly lawless, but usually ply their trade in richer areas and come back here to hide and hang out. In this case, I kinda know who they all are (they having tried to use me as a fence, which I refuse to do) and I make sure to do two things:
Offer them paying work -- there's always something needed done around a large chunk of land like this, and
Show them how well (and fast) I shoot. I put on a pretty good demo now and then.
The combination makes me pretty theft resistant, so far. I mean even thieves have a
little sense! After seeing 10 rounds of .45 go into a 1" hole at 15 paces in under 3 seconds, who would risk it?
Posting as just me, not as the forum owner. Everything I say is "in my opinion" and YMMV -- which should go for everyone without saying.
