I envy that space, even if you think its not big enough. Can pull a car straight in there and work on it or any other project.

Well, I used to be able to pull a car in there! I guess I still could if I had to, but I'd have to shove a lot of WW equipment into the right side.

Car space is about where the tablesaw and little belt sanders currently sit (plus a lot of stuff you don't see) And I'd have to figure out where to put two big roll-around drywall racks of plywood scraps for the duration. This picture basically shows the "real" shop, probably about 12' x 20'. :(

I will definitely keep that in mind Sam. However, I don't think it will be to much of a distraction. I only plan to mount a small TV up over head and out of the way (no big screen TV's in the shop). Plus, I'll probably only use it on occasion when working on small tendious projects. Large projects and dangerous type tool usage gets my full attention and the TV gets turned off.
