Things in the 'Shop'

This 'shop' area in other houses:

• In Florida:  Approximately 16' x 20' two-car garage which had a portion dedicated to a 'laboratory' bench and tool cases.
•  Good things--No one ever used a garage in Florida, so the space was always available, except in hurricanes, when everything was placed inside.
• Good things--Had sufficient space for freezers and bike storage.  (In the future, the freezer should be in the pantry or prep area.
• Bad things--Almost unusable in the summer due to heat and humidity.  (Try welding in a full suit at 35C...)
• In California:  Approximately a 28' x 20' two car garage which had a portion dedicated to lab bench and welding shop.
• Good things--This area was wider and was a bit more comfortable to work in.
• Bad things--Still not a dedicated area; cars had to be moved out to access some cabinets and supplies.
