--- Quote from: opt2not on January 08, 2018, 04:08:39 pm ---After doing a 3 hour daily driving commute for just over a year and a half, my wife and I decided to become suburbanites and reduce my commute drastically. We now reside a 15 mins walk from my work. Quality of life just skyrocketed, and this is the closest I’ve ever lived to my place of employment. I’m super chuffed about getting a big portion of my life back! --- End quote --- Congrats! My new place is 2 min. drive from the office, but in a city you can get anywhere in 10-15 mins it isn't an extreme upgrade for me, but damn it is nice leaving for work at 7:55 and getting here with time to spare.. I could walk it in about 10 minutes, but the reality is I won't. I would sooner shoot myself than have a 3 hour commute.. Unless I was making about a half mil a year, then it might be worth it... for a few years anyway. |

There isn't sawdust or tools or various parts thrown all over the place from the 8 projects you are working on at the same time. ;) --- End quote --- lol, this is the "clean" picture with only about 15% of my stuff unpacked and most of the sawdust either in the dust collection bag or swept into a pile already. Give it a few weeks when I am full swing into the new theater and 18 sheets of MDF into building backer boxes and subwoofer enclosures... Each of the 6 subs will take 2 4x8 sheets each... I figure if I start really clean and organized I can make it a few weeks before I injure myself tripping over tools, scrap wood, and half built enclosures... BTW, I already regret not spending more and pushing the wall out further. This is 18'x22' and I wish I had gone for at least 22'x22' now. I will build a shed on the other side of the wall in the summer though, and move the compressor and dust collection to it, freeing up a corner and a TON of noise... |

I did finally pick up a hydrometer so I can measure the alcohol content. I'm not sure how that's going to end up.. I'm guessing either 3% or 15%. I seem to be able to slam a lot of it without getting too wobbly or regretting it the next day. But sure, why not, if I end up coming I'll toss a plastic bottle in my checked bag. --- End quote --- I read somewhere that bread yeast tops out at about 10% ABV |

I’m using champagne yeast plus a yeast nutrient. I’ve made a couple batches with distillers yeast. Supposedly 18-22%....we will see. |

It was definitely weighing heavy on our lives: a huge waste of time away from family and projects, a massive level of stress increase, and lots of money on gas let alone the mileage wear on our vehicle. |
