Workshop - Safety issues status

Safety issues tackled:
1) no handrail up stairs - done. installed handrail.
2) no banister in loft - done. installed full length banister.
3) weak flooring in loft - done. installed new 1/2" sheeting across the entire loft floor.

Both tested and signed off by my workshop assistant.

Next up - lights (note placement and height of flood light on the pic on the left. perfect for branding foreheads ;))

Workshop Future State


Based on the initial sort and my vision for the loft, I came up with this future state diagram. The future state includes the following:

1) addressing safety issues with banister and handrails,
2) better lighting over work areas and stairs (not pictured)
3) an open and clear working space
4) a rack and work area for bicycles, skis and surfboards
5) shelving for camping gear
6) paint to clearly distinguish where things go at a glance (standardize/simplify)
