You're right about themotivation in freezing weather, Dave. [:)]I'm probably going to chuck the whole garage idea, thanks to all you fantastic forum experts. I really appreciate the insulation and heating advice, but I'm low budget. My 9 by 19 basement will work, even though the furnace takes up about a quarter of it. It's pretty consistently cool all year, with central air system making summers pretty nice down there. I think a smaller HO will work fine in that space, around the walls. Lots of fantastic layouts are built in areas smaller than that. Thanks again to all who've written. [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by davekelly Congrats!!! Finding real estate for a layout is definately a major coup!!! Still trying to figure out how to convert my garage into a layout room, but unfortunately my other pursuits (woodworking tools, motorcycles) are there. The third bedroom looks doable - not as big as a garage - but hey, it's better than nothing! BTW: Ditto on the climate control. Even if the benchwork/track etc can take the swings in temp and humidity, I'm guessing you won't be very motivated to work ont he layout if it's 10 below zero or 101 with 100 percent humidity! lol Have fun!!
