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.
