Wow, I do this shit all the time in my apt and its literally never been thought for me.

- playing guitar with amp - I do it just fine, i just use headphones during the night, during the day I dont turn it to 11

- loading up all our bikes to go to a scenic trail - not a issue, have multiple bikes stored and fits into a rental just fine. Done it many times to go upstate and do 30+ mile bike rides to NJ

- transported a ridiculously heavy side table - Simple. get a truck and a buddy.

- 3D printing own 3+ 3D printers. Not an issue printing.

- bulk buying groceries - Cart + bag. Eat 2 weeks at a time with one trip. Takes 20 minutes

I dont think you tried very hard to actually make things work




>I dont think you tried very hard to actually make things work

Why should I have to try harder to make things work, when they work just fine as they are?

All of your proposed changes involve spending either more money (renting a place w/o paper walls, renting a car, renting storage) or rely on luck/circumstance (if everyone followed your advice, there would be no "buddy with a truck" - lol).

>Not an issue printing.

Are they resin printers? You _could_ do that printing in an apartment but you're looking at having to run a ton of fans and hope you have good circulation. I took mine to a friend's house and it unfortunately smelled like plastic for longer than we wanted and just not nearly as easy as having a table/bench in a shed or garage.

>bulk buying groceries - Cart + bag. Eat 2 weeks at a time with one trip. Takes 20 minutes

Wym? You mean you take a cart to the store, from the apartment? Or a cart's worth of groceries?


Just a minor aside on 3D Printing- if you use PLA, it doesn't release anything nasty like ABS does, and it smells vaguely of popcorn, which is kind of nice.
