inOur street's shared tool shed made me rethink owning everything
Remember trying to set up a tool library in my old building, @riverk82, and seeing this exact thing. My own drill would sit dirty in a drawer, but the second it got a tag for everyone to use, I'd wipe it down and organize the bits after every loan. It's like knowing others depend on it adds a tiny layer of duty your own stuff just doesn't have. You stop seeing it as just a thing and more like a shared job that needs looking after. That weird care you talk about is what makes the whole idea actually work.
