The wifi sucks (I have a solution, just need to go buy the gear) and I still need to get a wireless keyboard, but I’m a step closer to having a full set of interwebs in the workshop.

I get more jealous of your shop with every post!

I take it you don’t live somewhere it gets particularly cold based on the lack of insulation?

I first read that as “the wife sucks”. Whew, so glad it’s the wifi.

So you’re insulating it for A/C then :) ?

You got it! I’m going to install a mini split ductless system.

The wife is awesome. She let me take a big ol’ chunk of backyard and put a workshop on it.

Yeah, I need to find one that’s mung resistant. I’ve severely crudded up many a keyboard with dirty ass garage hands.

Receive signal easier, get to down a container of Pringles. There are no downsides!

I cobbled together something in my workshop as well. (I posted a photo at one point but can’t find it now.) It’s great to have. Mainly I use it to stream music, but it also gets use looking up instructions and manuals and well as Oppo. Also, I use those same boxes of Scott rags. They’re pretty great.

Now not only am I jealous of the shop but also the weather surrounding it. It’s about 40 degrees in my garage right now (30 outside).

I’m really close to running a gas line out there...

In August it’ll be 100+ for days on end, so there’s definitely a trade off

May I suggest one of these bad boys for ease of cleaning: https://www.amazon.com/Alinshi-Foldable-Silicone-Keyboard-Waterproof/dp/B01MDTEP7T/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1480809344&sr=8-3&keywords=waterproof+keyboard

Not a high end keyboard, but cheap enough to never feel guilty about. Easy to wash as well.
