[sdiy] OT: Anyone ever build a backyard workshop?

[Dan Snazelle]

hell my wife is nice enough to let me keep my entire workshop in our bedroom! soldering irons, scope, shelves full of thousands of parts, junk boxes, and all. it is a bit cramped but hey, i wouldnt trust a shed.. someday i hope to have my OWN bedroom for the shop but until then...a small space beats no space

good luck
