Comments on: Drill Happy http://www.adamknits.com/2008/06/22/320/ The incoherent ramblings of a knitting, yarn dyeing grad student, who also happens to be a guy. You got a problem with that?

Sadly, I do not own my home, and therefore cannot emulate your flair with the drill (though I own two) drat that security deposit... - my version uses multiple of those cheezy clear plastic 3-drawer storage "units" from the hardware store. Sadly, owning a cat (or sometimes, being owned by one) means I must keep curious little hooked paws out of my yarn stash. </p> <p>I'll have to stop by your blog more often and vicariously enjoy your separate workspace (as I effectively live in my art studio). Any chance you'll be posting pics of the garden too?

It's been WAY to long since I"ve had blogreading time but I am SO happy to see YOU so happy! I wish I were there to help set up and organize- it looks superfun!

(just be careful you know where the electrical wiring and pipes are if you go hog wild with your drill...)... When we moved in here, DH bought a humongous door for $5 at the state surplus sale, to make a huge lab/microscope table. Then he went out and bought a corded drill for $200 to build it. It still makes me laugh... though the drill WAS also used to build a retaining wall and for loads of other things, it's a 'power' power tool, ya know?</p> What a great little set up!

We just got rid of some neighbors who WERE running a meth lab, in a camper, and it sure made life interesting for a bit! (They didn't stay long). Sounds like you're having a blast setting up, good for you! Enjoy! Marissa</p> Definitely tell the neighbors what you’re up to, lol!!

Also.... for just a second... pretend that it wouldnt be you it was happening to... and then think about how funny it would be for the police to show up and start asking questions only to be taken to the shedquarters to find that all that "meth" you are cooking is a drug of a different kind.... Yarn! HAHA! So funny!</p> Just a thought…. but if you call your yarn studio “shedquarters” when you tell your neighbors that you are not running a meth lab….. they are never gonna believe you!
