Bike shed - about the second key
Short version: there is only one key to the shed, and it lives on the hook inside the kitchen door.
Longer version. There used to be two. The second was lost in October and the landlord will cut a replacement, but only from the original, and the original is the one on the hook. So if that one goes missing we have neither.
This is why I keep asking people to put it back rather than keep it in a coat pocket. It is not about trust. It is that a key in somebody's pocket is a key nobody else can use, and half the time the person with it is not in the building.
If you want your own, tell me and I will take the original to the shop myself. That is the only way it can be done.
