I’d like to have a desk where I can sit to work when there isn’t anyone in the dining room:

I will make a sign for what times of day it can be used.

I onde ring if maybe we could please use the perfectly good (great!) desk that's in the library for now?
It makes the library harder to use and is just a dumping ground for things. I can get it cleared tomorrow if we can use this even as just a trial desk for now?

Clearing the library desk is a great separate task. 👌

Meanwhile it's been 2 weeks and I'm still working in the basement for no reason ... ⏳ 🤷‍♂️
while there is glorious natural light in the dining room. ☀️

It makes sense to work in the basement when I need to be close to the workshop. 🛠️
But for work-work what I need is some natural light to not go crazy. 🥴

The desk in the library is still cluttered; we definitely have "too many books" ... 📚 again, separate issue: #291

For context, this desk costs €165 from IKEA if we were to buy it New 🆕 💰

For ref: I think that's daylight robbery for a static desk! 🤯

The ANFALLARE bamboo Table top alone is €85:

The HILVER legs, while well-designed are extortionate at €20/each!!

But €65 for the desk:

Including the SIGNUM under-desk Cable trunking which costs €12,99:

Is a muuuch more attractive offer! 😍
Even if it requires a T1h (after work) round-trip to collect it. ⏳ = 💸
