They didn’t say your wood was too wet, they said your humor was too dry!

Just kidding, Neil. BTW, with this post, you could start a new forum category “shop gloat”. Those conditions do indeed sound perfect. Heh, during the summer, if I use my TS during a visit to the shop, I then have to wipe it down, sand (320 on a block), and then wax. One drop of sweat will produce rust within an hour (FL).

Oh, yeah. I went back and forth on basement-vs-garage, after spending a BUNCH of $$$ getting LOTS of electrical in the garage (and NONE in the basement).

Consistent climate was the final kicker for me … particularly … after having lived 3yrs in Fort Myers. I know the wet pain of which you speak :-)

But the downsides of the basement are pretty clear, too: every tool and every project has to fit through the door, and make it up/down the stairs, dust control is even MORE important, and … of course … the shop is RIGHT below the master bedroom where … my wife .... goes to bed earlier than I do :-)

Compromises. Life is full of ‘em, huh ?

David: I’ll TAKE that logic ! Thanks !!

Do you at least have one of those (searching for the right term) exterior metal double doorway with stairs going to the basement thingamabobs?

I’ve been to Ft. Myers, nice area from what I saw in a weekend. My tech school in USAF was outside Denver, loved the non-humidity, but it did snow there on June 1,1979. So, you give and take I guess.

I’ve got a standard 3’0” door, and NO walk-out.

So far … nothing that I’ve thought to build would have the door be a limiting factor (but … it it’s that big … I just can’t build it, so….).

If push came to shove, my next-door neighbor put HIS shop in the garage, so … I’d mooch :-)

Fort Myers was a pretty sleepy town, in my day (early 90’s). I traveled a lot, and—as a result—never got used to the humidity. MAN, could I sweat !

And … yeah … the Front Range weather is never boring ;-) Near freezing, two mornings ago ! Mid-to-high 90s, today.

Were you at the Academy, then, in Colorado Springs ? Beautiful part of the world….

Academy? Uh, yeah, that’s the ticket, I was….. uh… a rocket driver! Uh, and I went there with my gir… I mean my wife, ... Morgan Fairchild….. cause she couldn’t stand to be away from me…. that’s the ticket!

No, no need to call me sir (as if you would), I was at Lowry AFB (no longer there) learning to be a weapons weeney.

well i think that when you were in boston and got within whispering range of the man in plaid…there was a transfer of knowledge that we were not told about…we could call it the humanity of humidity…......
