Here's the shed for the FreeStore!
Yesterday my friend Trenton showed me a blog about a new FreeStore that just opened a few months ago right next to our college campus.
A FreeStore is a place where you can bring things that you don’t need, and take things that you do. It’s a community-run trade market that is open to everything.
We headed over to this FreeStore – The Hammer Time Tool CoOp and met the owner Garrett. A few months ago, Garrett opened the FreeStore in a small shed attached to his garage. It’s open 24/7 for anyone to go in and make a quick exchange, find something they need, or drop off something they don’t. – What a killer idea, right!?
Yesterday, Garrett held the final opening of the actual Tool Co-Op. The HT Tool Co-Op is a center (The actual garage) where anyone can come and work on their own projects with all of the available tools. What another superb idea.. The Tool Garage is open on Mondays and Thursdays, from 4:00PM to 9:00PM.
-The Tool Garage is also heated! A woodstove made out of a Beer Keg with a bike crankshaft as the lock and handle. – SUPERB.
At first I was a bit skeptical, but now I love the idea of the FreeStore and the Tool Co-Op. It will be a lot of fun using the store and tool area, and helping build and promote the central idea of a community-run FreeStore.
Head over to HammerTimeToolCoOp to check out the new developments!
