project funtown

i had full intentions of completing "project funtown" this holiday season but preparations for our new year's eve meal, some skiing, and family gatherings have interfered with my intended schedule. typically these areas, known as mantown or man towns (in fact that's what i was calling it up until now) are areas in the basement or garage which guys set up to reflect their hobbies, drink beer, and put up pictures of half-naked women. i decided to switch the name of the project to "funtown" because it better reflects the intentions of the space that i am trying to create: a place to work on my bikes, store my sport's stuff, wax my skis, and set up my rollers and a tv; it is not intended to be some misogynistic hovel with pictures of half-naked women on the wall.



project funtown is back on track and shortly i hope to have it completed with such functional features as: a bike repair station (sort of there, but needs to be organized better), a wax bench for skis (this is the model i am using with some modifications for holding the skis in place); an indoor bike wash station, jersey and sport's wear storage, tv and roller set up, work bench, and a couple of comfy chairs.

No half-naked women, fine. But you forget to mention the beer. Is there beer in funtown?

You are calling it funtown, because you know when you are thinking of going downstairs to ride the roller/trainer, that you will call it something not so nice!

Is a wicked good idea though.

beer will be definitely a part of funtown.

whether rollers are fun or not, at least they're better than trainers which i find excruciating and soul draining
