Not bored enough to turn to SciFi...and I hope to never get to that point.

And the step after that will be using them to spell out SOS in the hope it’ll be spotted by a passing helicopter that will air drop you the latest edition of Clue-do.

I was thinking build a replica of the Eiffel Tower or the Sydney Opera House.

Well, not everybody has the brains to understand what's going on in SciFi.

I'm looking at building some more storage for the tools in my "shop"- a small portion of a 2 car garage. Just figuring out the details of how I really want to do it so that I don't change my mind later and waste time and resources (wood, even if in this case it was really cheap, or even free).
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Watching the busy bodies in the house go stir crazy is better than any reality tv drama. Me, meh I don’t think it’s changed one bit for me except now I’m forced to brave the shopping with coupons with a mask slightly more often, and a slight uptick in my already work from home job. Slightly more stocked in the pantry too.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

I have 9 roll arounds in my garage. 1 metric, 1 SAE, 1 machinist tools. One power tools, one pneumatics, 1 electrical service. One automotive service, one for assorted hardware and one for car parts.
Rule of thumb. However big you build - twice as big still won't be big enough.
Put EVERYTHING possible on wheels.
If I could put the lathe, vertical mill and surface grinder on wheels - I would.
Shop - 30 ft x 50 ft.
Edit - there is also a 2 post lift and full welding area.

I have enough mechanic tools to repair my vehicles, a table saw (contractor size), router table, carving bench, and a planer/sander/drill press stacked up. I have two rollaways, with intermediate and top boxes. Let's not forget the AC evacuation pump and controller. Then there is the shop vac with a vortex separator on top. Put in a stool on wheels, and what you have left is enough space to walk sideways through the part that that is possible. One of the rollaways is in a cabinet, next to the one that has the wire feed and gas welding rigs. I have to drag that shit out when I want to weld, and have to move other stuff out of the way to get them out. I have wood for future projects stored in the rafters on sheets of plywood and hanging shelves. If I'm in the garage and an earthquake hits, I'm a goner. The wife and I went to Oregon in '13 looking for a place to potentially retire to. One of them had a shop building like what you have. When I work on my vehicles, I lay on cardboard, because I'm on a sloping driveway and I'd roll down it on a creeper. I'd literally surrender my right nut for something like that...it's been giving me trouble, anyway.
