Yesterday I started cleaning up this weird wraparound area of the basement to prepare for moving my tool bench down and starting to put together the workshop.

Initially I was only going to remove the small wall, shelf, and hanging rod. The plan was to put my tool bench against the blue wall.

I loved how those small changes opened up the area. Then I noticed the other walls weren’t load-bearing, so I started demolishing.

What a difference! My mind is racing with so many new ideas on how to utilize the space.

As a bonus I ended up with a pile of nice 2x4s I can use for making shit.
