Anyone object to me working on my motorbike for an hour or two in the workshop?
I won't be storing it or leaving it unattended. Just thought I'd
better check as it's large and we're always tight on space.
I'm not doing anything messy, just wiring.

It may be worth noting when your thinking of doing it so people can plan around it :)

I was in the workshop for 30 mins this morning - no one else was there - but there's not a lot of space at the moment due to stuff being brought in...

Yes it may :)
I'll pick a quiet(ish) time. Probably early Saturday morning. Maybe
one of the less busy evenings this week (so not tonight) if there is
space. I'll check with people in the space first before bringing it in
anyways...

I've actually found it easier to wheel the bike down to the other end of
the building (i.e not the end you'd normally come up the stairs from).
There's a big open space in front of the goods lift, reasonable light and
its covered. I've worked on my motorbike a couple of times there, and have
seen other people doing likewise.

Probably easier to get in and out of than the workshop, too!

Only thing is, make sure that goods lift works - each time I've tried to
use it it didn't ;(

I'm not sure I ever recall the lifts not working. I have seen them
deactivated a few times - either by use of the emergency stop button
or by leaving one of the doors open with the car on an upper floor
giving the impression of non-functionality. (Am happy to be proved
wrong, of course)

Good tip, I might give that a try. I basically just need somewhere
that isn't raining and is reasonably close to tools.

Yeah, in my office it is often the case that the doors aren't fully
shut somewhere.

The security guard often de-activates the lifts on the south end of
the building at night.

Fine as it improves the building security, but crap when the north
freight lift isn't working properly.

TBH, the 24-hour security that workspace pitches as a selling point,
is purely cosmetic, and with no security guard on during the day, it's
a lie.

It also costs tenants £53k per year, according to our latest service
charge statement!
