OK=2C not that I'm in danger of actually completing any projects=2C but
I'd like to hear some opinions about something I'm contemplating.

Right now both of my "shops" are in unheated=2C un-airconditioned
spaces=2C leaving me little time to work in comfort. I'm kicking around
the idea of sealing and insulating an 8X12 shed that can be heated and
cooled with little trouble.

Is 8X12 going to be big enough? Obviously=2C wood storage and large
power tools won't live there.

-T
PS - Fitted out=2C the interior would be more like 7X11.
