Heat's necessary in this part of AZ, it's not all like Phoenix (thank God), but the shop's going in Oklahoma. I've got a small space heater and I figure a window a/c unit off of a back window of the shop should do just fine in the summer. Thing I'm struggling with is the size. I'd like to avoid a full third car size if possible. With a relatively shallow workbench with pegboard over it I'll have more room for the workstand in the middle. I'm going to rescue cabinets from the kitchen, which we're gutting. Right now we've got one four bike floor rack that puts two on either side. It takes up a decent amount of space against a wall, as it needs to be far enough out to allow for getting the bikes off of the back. We'll have two of those. I'll also have a workbench in the garage for when I'm wrenching on a car. I'm envisioning the bike workbench against a short wall with a window over it and pegboard around the window. Put a wheel station at the end of the workbench, lower so I can sit on a stool and build a wheel. Cabinets along one long wall, probably over counter for most of the length and undercounter for half of it or so. May end up putting an air compressor at one end of the cabinets, probably the end closest to the workbench. Back wall will have window a/c. I might put an old TV out there with some rabbit ears, but a stereo is virtually a must. Stereo could easily go behind me, but TV would need to be nearer the front. Maybe on a cabinet that's running along the long wall. Might offset the door between the shop and garage and put bike storage along that longer wall. I'll have plenty of space even if that works out.

Just brainstorming again. Contract goes to the architect today and the garage is the first thing going in, so I want to have at least the dimensions ready to go.
