Recently I have faced a peculiar delima. You see, I have a number of hobbies where I enjoy building things. Lego, remote control toys, etc…
The problem is that while I find it quite relaxing to sit down and work on a project, I do not always have the time to do so. And when I do not have the time, the last thing I want to deal with is the mess of a half complete project.
So what to do?
For a while I entertained copying my father and getting a shed for such activities. But in cold, rainy Seattle – there are many problems such an idea. Like not wanting to go outside in the middle of winter, and the challenge of keeping everything dry.

Cheers,
Ben
