My first shop was in a basement too. The new shop is in a detached 2+1 car, with the one space walled off and heated. I like the convenience of a basement except for the machinery moving part. Now, it's put the hat and coat on and slush through the wind and rain to get out there. And then back to the house to get the drawing I forgot...
Summer is nice though, toss open the doors and let the critters watch. A couple summers ago a bird decided to build a nest in where I was working. He'd sit on top on a machine for a minute, they fly out for another stick. I kept telling him this wasn't the place cuz I'm gonna shut that door pretty soon.
One year a humming bird had built a nest just outside the window. A squirrel decided to help himself to the nest and the hummer caught him. I didn't know squirrels could scream. That bird was vicious, kept stabbing the squirrel with his beak as it tried to get away. Chased him until I lost sight of them.
So good vs bad on shop locations. I just like having a shop.
