<p>Mine is built in the Living room and 2 bedrooms.  It is an around the walls layout with 2 lift bridges.  Avoid duck unders, your future self will thank you.  I went with the indoors option because the attached garage is uncomfortable 5 months out of the year.  Plus it greatly increased the storage space in the house.  My 46" Flat screen, PS3, XBOX, WII and all the associated junk that goes with it are under the layout, and usable if I wanted too.  I have piles of back issues of RMC and MR in wooden crates and on books shelves stored around the layout.  The intial spark of an idea, and what eventually won the girlfriend's (future wife) approval was a photo of Tony Koester's Allegheny Midland Coal Fork extension with the Television and Book shelves under the layout (pg 60 June 1998 MR).   I based the height of the benchwork on the tallest piece of furnture: 37".  My only restictions were I had to keep it out of the Kitchen, Bathroom, and there had to be a place to sit and eat.</p>
