As I stated in my introduction after finding this forum, I knew I'd fit right in. Along with all the great information this site provides are some threads showing off unbelievably beautiful shops/garages. My garage, however, should be declared a federal disaster area.
Having grown tired of living in the City of Portland, I moved into a smaller home in a small town with my family. My old house had a 36X24 shop with a loft for storage. The new house has a "2 car" garage that has a quarter of it walled off for an office. The rest of it is split into my "shop area", storage, dog kennels, and canning pantry.
Whenever I want to work on a project, I have to roll a couple things out the door and clear off the work bench. After ~18 months of working like this, I'm starting to get antsy and will begin making changes in order to address my shop needs.
The first project is to build a lean-to shed on the North side of my garage. The shed will have barn doors that swing wide open to reveal my radial arm saw and so-on. I am choosing that location because of the close proximity to the electrical panel in the garage. I will update this thread as I make progress.
I welcome any ideas/links/threads anyone might have for building my woodworking/storage shed.
In the meantime, feel free to share pix of your disaster garages - I need to feel better about myself.
Cheers!

But seriously, I will be using both. Once set-up, the RAS will be used more often than the chop saw but I don't want to get rid of the chop saw simply because of the mobility.
