With a lease up for renewal and a substantial rent increase to boot, it was time for a change since I outgrew my current workshop long ago. This new facility will be a great next step.

I was about to resign myself to renting a storage unit or two and maybe having a small workshop somewhere. Major PITA. One last ditch effort combing the classifieds and this one popped out. It was a nobrainer.

Formerly a warehouse and fabrication place, it has shelves and work benches galore with nearly four times the floor space! Even my impressive stash will have difficulty filling it all up. A walk-in garage has room for cars. There are four separate office rooms with furniture and natural light. Heat, water, and electricity are included. That alone is worth several hundred bucks a month.

 
That means no more stacking, re-arranging boxes and tools, climbing ladders, or cramped quarters.
 
The work area is divided into sections with eight-foot ceilings, unlike my previous 16-foot-ceiling studio. With dedicated work stations for all the crafts, there will still be plenty of room to maneuver. That means no more stacking, re-arranging boxes and tools, climbing ladders, or cramped quarters.

I will hope this will be my final stopping place before I own or move into a home of my own. Moving is an adventure that I can definitely click off my bucket list and the fewer times I do it in my advancing years, the better.

It is the diametric opposite of anything I've had thus far. Feng shui or not, I would like this to be about simplification because all the space makes it easy to hoard without knowing it.
