Workshop Upgrades The cellar and future workshop is still a big mess with lots of boxes and stuff that hasn't found it's place, yet. But at least two projects are done now to give the shop a bit more space. The shop vacuum is now hooked up to a cyclone system and both got their own little vertical shelf.

For quite a while all connections at the fuse box where temporary only and I somewhat procrastinated to properly wire it up because that required cutting the cables to the proper length.

But luckily it did. It got a little bit more expensive than the original offer, because these things always do. But everything worked out fine.… ▶

We did another gas stop and then returned to the rental station. After the formalities we took a taxi to our hotel in Nantes.… ▶
