I'm talking with my wife about moving to cooler weather. If we do move, there will be a dedicated, existing building for my hobbies. I didn't have that when I moved here, though I was assured that I would. Turns out there's no place to put one that complies with the city's building restrictions. All space is tools (portable table saw, etc.) and cabinets to put things in. There's little room to even walk, unless one is careful. If we do move, the moving company is going to pack our stuff. Except for the expensive sewing machine(s) and my tools. Those I will handle.
Stone's Law - (a biker buddy of mine)
Any workspace you build must be built twice as big.
Repeat as needed.

If only. If (biggest word in the English language) we move someplace else, that space requirement will be in the equation. When I was looking to retire, we went to Oregon and looked at a few places. One of them had a metal building about 40 by 40 by 20 feet high. I was thinking about how all the shit my wife is hoarding would fit over on one side and that I could build a partition to hide it while I slowly disposed of it in a fire to keep the shop warm.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
