I started homebrewing 14 years ago, but took the last couple years off. I started back up again due to building a pub in one of my outbuildings--gotta have beer for a pub 
The brew area I put together is in a covered patio area with sliding glass doors, so most of the year it is possible to brew and ferment in the same place. It has heat but not cooling, so two or three months out of the year won't work, but I'm okay with that. The setup is based on a 10 gallon setup from Morebeer.com with quite a few upgrades, and works really, really well. All in all, I am suuuper stoked that my wife let me set this system up. If you wanna see some pics, check out http://cheeseaday.blogspot.com/2010/04/first-brew-day-success.html . It isn't done yet (should actually have the first beer on tomorrow), but you can see the basics.
Oh, and I have ten gallons of Newcastle and ten gallons of a very nice IPA almost ready to keg. Hellz. Yeah.
