My workshop is a spare bedroom, about 11x11. It's not huge but is comfortable. Everything that is finished is in the garage. It is not heated or air conditioned. In the summer it is 100 degrees and very humid. The planes never complain, or if they do I guess I ignore them.

My whole house and garage!

Hi all
I live in New Jersey, I took 2 bays out of my 5 car garage and used them up to last year. I just moved into the basement, we just had an addition added on with a 18 x 12 basement added to our existing basement which now totals at 66 x 25 it just seemed senseless to heat the garge for my planes with the cost of fuel going sky high. So the 18 x 12 room is just for building and I am using another 18 x 25 area for storage. Heat in the winter and Ac in the summer, cable TV, Frig, stereo, and a bathroom. I do have a outside entrance so there is no carrying planes thru the house, plus it would be impossible to carry my 1/3 Scale Cubs thru the house by myself.

My shop is in my basement. Air condiditoned and Heated...complete with satellite tv and a P40 Warhawk ceiling fan! My trailer is my storage. The trailer and tow vehicle also live in the basement (12 ft. ceiling) just outside the workshop door.....Just like the Bat Cave. That way the entire setup is always ready to go at a moments notice. Just press the button on the remote to open the 12x12 overhead door and drive to the field. When I get back home, I just back the whole rig into the basement and hook the trailer to shore power to recharge everything for next time.

Humidity levels in the basement are around 25-30% during the winter and about 45% during the summer. Roughly16 years with this setup so far and have had no humidity related problems with airframes, engines, or electronics.

Mine is about 8,000 miles away (Houston). More a case of my tools and other building goodies as I sold my 'shop' a couple of years ago when I moved to the desert. My substitute shop here is a desk in a spare bedroom. VERY limiting. I am assembling a might back-log of projects in my head.

What I don't have in building facilities is made up for with almost unlimited weekend flying.

Enjoy what you got.

I am fortunate to have a 35x25 basement area to work in . Its well lighted and a constant 68 degrees year round . The thing I dont like is the staircase entry restricts the size of the planes I can build . 1/3 Super Cub and 1/8 C-47 are very challenging to get in and out without damaging something.
My wife and I were planning on building a garrage/apartment but 6 months out of work from a hip injury has delayed construction.
I guess I will be working in the basement for a while (as soon as surgery heals).

In the place that once was a dining room. If I have to paint or use anything that gives off alot of fumes, then I take it to my enclosed porch. If you think that's bad, when I first started this hobby my shop was in the living room. My wife doesn't mind it as long as I keep the noise down and clean up.

I have a 12'X20' prebuilt metal building in my backyard. It has heat , A/C and a TV. Outside is a small front porch and a 3'X6' table that I use for doing any sanding. Keeps the dust out of the shop. The entire building is covered by a 20'X30' canopy which provides shade over the sanding table, a place to park my utility trailer out of the weather and keeps the shop much cooler in the Florida summertime sunshine.
