Dave,

I am single and live in a small 2 bed room trailer with a storage shed and my total square footage (trailer and shed) is about the same as JPGale's. In the shed (9 x 15 x 8' high ceiling) I have 4 or 5 planes (56" to 68" ws) stored in the rafters, one 50" Marblehead Class model sailboat, a .40 powered out rigger racing boat, half a dozen kits and lots of other stuff (mine and my son's who has moved out). In the bigger bedroom (11.5 x 8.5) is the shop with a 30" x 5' bench (with band saw, drill press etc - the dirty side), a 2' x 80" bench (building area or clean side), plus a large wardrobe and 1.5 Beds stored on end, shelving (cheap steel bolt together on a wheeled base) and three more planes (36" to 40", 2 on the ceiling, one on the end of the bench) with 2 on the bench (a pair of 62" RCM Ugly Sticks, one wing at a time), 2 gun cabinets and reloading gear, plus 2 more planes in the small (my) bed room (39"-52" on the ceiling)with a twin bed for me. That plus two sailboats (Sunfish) on trailers and my table saw outside. The kitchen has my drafting table (no dining table),the living room a love seat size couch/hide a bed, TV Cabinet/Books shelves, computer desk. I also have a washer/dryer and a bathroom. It can be done, you have to be creative in figuring out how to do things like storing, building and just living in tight quarters. Oh yeah, 2 cats that love to help me build.
