Yeah, I'm faced with that at the moment. And there is a foot of snow 
outside my garage. And no place with solid footing to put ~6000lbs of 
machine tools, never mind the cars and parts...But it all has to get put 
  in order or I'll never get the engine out of the formula car to send 
it to get rebuilt. Or strip the spare GT6 and get a roll cage in it. Or 
get the new floor that has been sitting on the shelf for 6 years welded 
into the street GT6. Or get the street GT6 back on the street. Or get 
the fresh engine into the TR6. Or finish building the triumph based 
formula car. Or fix the spare compressor. Or insulate/sheetrock the 
place. Or...Or...

Sigh. Project gridlock.

I like the tent idea. That would solve my what to do with *.* when I 
sheetrock and insulate the garage. Next garage has that before I move 
in. AND radiant heat in the floor. And running water. And outlets every 
6 feet. And a lift. And lots of light. And wireless ethernet. And three 
phase. And air lines on the walls. And...And...oops. Same problem....

I always tell my employees: "If it isn't written down, it didn't happen."
