How do you chill out in these fallen days? My own algorithm occasionally serves up things like “Abandoned 100 Year Old Workshop Renovation - 2 Year Timelapse.” Good stuff, actually. The English accent is great. And it’s of extra interest to me because in a past life I myself spent about two years rehabbing a hundred-year-old barn and workshop. But if you stick around to the end of the video, this last little bit is wild:
Unfortunately, the owner of this building has gone completely quiet, which is a bit of a challenge. I’ve been trying and failing to get in touch, to agree to the next stage of work, so that I can get the workshop into a useful state. When he resurfaces, I’ll pick things up where I left off. Just in case he doesn’t re-appear, I’ve started looking for a workshop to buy, and I’ve found some amazing options, including buildings nearly 300 years old. While all this goes on in the background, I’m going right back to basics. I’ll be heading into the woods to prepare for an attempt to cross the Irish Sea in a DIY Stone Age boat made entirely from animal skins and wood. Along the way, I’ll be making everything I need from scratch: buckskin clothes, flint tools, weapons, food, and finally the boat itself. On to the next adventure.
All these content creators are nuts. You did that, on a volunteer basis??? You’re also a Stone Age LARPer? (For myself, I have to confess that I actually enjoy doing projects without a camera pointed at myself the whole time.)
