I live in a big US city, but don't say which publicly. As for my apartment, it's essentially a mini warehouse. I usually clean and repair stuff on my kitchen counter or in my bathroom, and take pictures of most stuff on top of my stove (or outside my door in the hallway). I mainly upcycle within a net of 15 city blocks north/south of my place, and a less in width, so I walk almost all of it back. No truck, no hand-cart, no backpack... just hand-carry in boxes or bags I find when I'm out hunting that night. Since my back was hurting from the gym with the Sony TV, I used the stroller as a little wagon to get it back to my place. The throw-away culture here makes me sick, so I try to do what I can. I'd say I'm trying to do what I do practically, but I think what I do is pretty extreme as compared to the people around me. I wish there was a repair shop culture here. Thanks for your interest. I'll keep posting more.
