thinking about it some more with the nasty rainy weather currently, and having the cat, and the "hippy commune" vibe of the main house, i'm going to adopt the current "tool room" as my bedroom.

it has a segment at the back of it that is probably wide enough for me to set up a bed on a raised platform, just need some plywood or so to bolt to the concrete and then cover it in a layer of EVA foam 1" thick. computer on one side with a clear water sealed and painted floor, everything painted in sky blue floor to ceiling after a waterproofing layer, so, no flies, dammit.

the door is wood, so it will be easy to take it off its' hinges and carve out a segment in the corner and put a cat-flap for kitty to go in and out. and yeah, get some acoustic foam and put segments all around the walls.

it has bars over an open section like a prison cell too. that would suit me with my monastic life right now.

i hate cooking my food in the kitchen with vegans around whining about the smell of the cooking. so... i just need to get some metal bar put up and get a rain-proof but breathable annex to cover the floor area outside, and yeah, also seal and paint all of it, then, there is already an old school laundry basin there, would be simple to add a kitchen bench and sink, put the fridge outside between the "cell" door and the laundry, and over the other end near the corner, a neat space to put a bbq pit made with cinderblocks, fire bricks and a big grill and a tray underneath to catch the ash. then i can have espetada every day. and yeah, not a fridge, a fucking freezer. something like 150L stuffed to the gills with beef.

would also suit the "caretaker" role i seem to be fitting into, and in the house it can be 100% big agra food and out with me, bbq only.
