Anybody who lives in an old house will surely tell you that storage is an issue. Closets–by modern standards anyway–are either small or non-existent. Hence, our household dust pan and broom are stored leaning (oh, are we ever so proud of this) in a corner until we build a closet for them.
The same is often true of the workshop. In our case, the shop is in the basement and competing for space with everything from “life” stuff we store (bikes, skis, the entire of contents of the room we’re currently remodeling) to stuff that lives there (furnace, hot water heater, sump pump.) Needless to say, important and necessary shop space is valuable real estate.
