Wellcome.
Be carefull with your workshop plans...it migh come true.
I have a garage, which felt HUGE, but three crappy lathes, one 1,5 ton milling machine, metal cuting band saw, one ton TCG, some welding stuff and big garage size storage self later the space disappears....
Because winters here are cold and long (got last weekend 20 cm of snow...probably you are no stranger for that white stuff) I was designated a spare bedroom to keep me under HER eyes.....it's pretty full too. Should really empty it for a month, because we are getting a relatives to visit, but wondering where on earth I can storage all those thrasures!
