(sound of glass cracking)
I don't know if you know this but this workshop is in my house
So the space where I build and work and film is in the same room that also serves as my living room and my bedroom
and I kind of feel like I want to increase the distance between my workbench and my bed because
(hammer robot sounds)
I mean there are plenty of reasons
I've been working from home for like three years now and
Before it really used to bother me to spend this much time at my house
But I've kind of been like lulled into the comfort of it and that really worries me because I feel like I'm running at risk
of becoming like a
Crazy cat lady but with machines instead of cats. (Laugh)
Either way this is like a very long intro for me to tell you a very short and easy thing.
I just signed a lease for a workshop. Like a real
proper workshop with concrete floors and a roll-up door and I feel like I'm moving out of my parents house for the first time because
I have never had, like, an office or workshop before so I'm really excited
Yeah, we'll just pack up some stuff
(Packing Montage)
Welcome to our new workshop we still haven't figured out what to call it. You know, Adam Savage has like Adam's cave
But Simone's Cave just sounds
different
Maybe like Simone's cage
We're like, what do we call it before Giertz Patch.
I kind of like Giertz Patch because it's both the name for the space and a merchandise opportunity
All of this ground floor is gonna be the workshop area and
moving in here after working and building out of my tiny house feels like taking off a
pair of pants that were way too tight
I honestly don't understand how I could build the amount of things like theirs in that tiny space
and also how I could fit all the stuff because seeing it spread out it's just
It's a lot
I'm gonna have work benches and like an electronics station and stuff like that along the wall and like a big work table
Where we can do kind of Messier stuff also no more
Talking for me because there's a motorcycle outside but no more
Also, no more pegboard backdrop. Now, we've upgraded to bricks
We put Daryl up here, the animal that I built so I could hunt it with a bow and arrow here
Wondering Simone, what have you done in this three weeks that you haven't filmed anything? I put carrots in it's antlers.
Cuz I'm good at prioritizing
Thinking of making like a big wall divider and there's gonna be like a kitchen and there's a tiny bathroom
And in there there's gonna be an edit suite. Yeah
It's gonna be great
It's also really echoey because it's like the tall ceilings
So you can hear yourself over and over again the coat hanger coat hangers that I made like
Two years ago have finally reached its final form
so I made this like big plywood coat hanger, and then I just got some Casa Trog so you can like
Hang your coat hangers on an even bigger coat hanger
Let's see my script before we go upstairs because I need to write down what I'm gonna talk about
Because I had a brain tumor Brian the brain tumor is turning out to be the best scapegoat of all time
He takes everything I wonder of me being late with my taxes can be put on Brian's tab
Yeah, oh I wanted to talk about having a sequin wall in the bathroom
We're thinking about putting sequin on an entire wall either by or in the bathroom
Because then you don't have to wash your hands. You can just drag your hand across it
You're clean and also cool clean and cool
It sounds like some like high school propaganda for kids to not do drugs clean and cool
There's a room upstairs and that's gonna be like the dust free clean ish
Office and you get there by walking up the beautiful tinsel staircase. That kind of looks like a
Unicorn waterfall god dammit. We should have made like a cheap easy
DIY staircase back video about the stenciled staircase
So, yeah, and here's gonna be like the more adult space
We're still working on getting proper lights in here cuz it's fucking dark now. We just have this like ball sack
But they're all going to be lifts that have been taped up to the ceiling
If we're still going with the ball sack reference that makes about half of you really uncomfortable. No about
seventy to eighty percent
depending on like current demographics
But yeah, there's not that much in here. We're gonna make desks we assemble the couch which was fine
It's so firm
It's almost as if the couch is like "hey shouldn't you be working" but you know, what couch?
Get off my back because I am working. I'm about to deliver a sponsored message for a company
Audible has an unmatched selection of audiobooks and you can listen to them seamlessly between devices
You can start it on your phone
but then you're like I don't like my phone so you can listen to it on your Amazon echo or on your tablet and if
You don't like a book. You can exchange it
No questions asked no author gets their feelings hurt and if you like a book
It's yours to keep even if you cancel your membership
So it's like breaking up with your boyfriend, but you still get to keep this jacket
I was listening to a bunch of audiobooks when I was recovering
for brain surgery
Because I would wake up like five or six times a night because of my medication and I'd have a really hard time falling asleep
so I would listen to Harry Potter in French because Harry Potter is like super cozy and French is
just difficult enough for me to understand for my brain to be like
I think I'd rather just fall asleep. If you start a free trial you get your first audio book for free
So go to audible.com slash Simone or text Simone to 500 500 to get started
I'll say it again go to audible both
I'll say it again
I'm saying it again
And the part about texting
Did you know that magic wand in French is the get magic so I grant you one free audio book with my picot magic ding
So cheesy, so this staircase is perfect for like a grand ish entrance
It feels risky. I'm just gonna
Ow *laughs*
I don't know, I just
I was gonna slide down, but I didn't want to like put my torso into it because I have a mic pack
And so I just sat on it. Oh fuck. I don't understand how they did Quidditch in Harry Potter because that hurts
You just give it
Even up the pressure a little bit
And now you're like "Wow, who's that girl just walking down the stair case so clean and cool?"
What else am I gonna say?
I'm so excited to have the space
Me reading it off a paper makes it seem like I'm not genuine, but I am so, so, so, excited
to have this space.
I wrote three "so"s.
But seriously it's like a huge step for me because I've never had a workshop space before and I just
really want to see what we're gonna make in here.
Let us know if you have any ideas for upgrades, thinking about like maybe a swing, or like a slide...
Anything goes, because we're adults so we could eat ice cream whenever we want, and have indoor bouncy castles...
Actually, that's a really bad idea because there's a lot of sharp objects,
but send me a pigeon with your best ideas or just like leave a comment which is like a digital pigeon...
That didn't land really should we redo that?
I need a scrip what I'm gonna say 'cause otherwise I forget all about it..
But send me a pigeon with your best upgrade ideas... I feel like this is *way* too transparent
I'm embarrassed that this is my methodology
Methodology? Is that how you say it?
That's not from the piece of paper, that's me asking you
Send me a pigeon with your best upgrade ideas or just leave a comment. It's like a digital pigeon
Seriously, don't send me a pigeon
But seriously leave a comment if you have any ideas for cool upgrades that we can do for this because all I want is to
Build in here and I also really want to share what we're up to. So leave a comment don'ts in the pigeon
Okay. Bye
