I was thrilled to get to use my shop for something else, new and exciting. I feel like Fronk-N-stone when I get my cooker going and sit there waiting for the brew to boil. All I keep hearing is a line from the Wizard of Oz, ("My Beauties"). It gives me a chance to be alone with my thoughts and scheme the eventual plan for world domination, )right after breakfast). I have a plan for a brew room on the cheap from Blue board insulation and duct tape for the seams. If it needs a llittle stiffening I plan to add a furring strip or two. The room can then be temp controlled with a small window unit AC and a small quarts electric heater. Once I get my shop cleaned out and the brew room built I will only need to come in to sleep and poop. While I am tinkering I can make stuff on my lathes and mills and run my Torchmate CNC machine. Sounds like I have hit the lotto on this one. SWMBO is in 100% agreement, so I have no issues with my budget since we do not mix money. She has hers, I have mine and we split the bills accordingly. Works great and I can plan for my entertainment with very few distractions or unforseen cash requirements. It would really be nice to get one of theose rent to own Handi House sheds and make it a clean room for my expensive tools and diving gear. Then I would have a much larger than 8X8 area foro brewing. Just need to figure ot how to vent the heat and exhaust from the burner. Safety is most important when you start building things that consume O2. So I have a plan, just need to implement it and keep going. Have fun and remember this is a hobby, if it aint fun it is your fault and you need to look at why you are doing it.
