Any room for one more suggestions.......
As you will be enjoying the workshop for many more years you may fiond that the stairs are getting longer, steeper, phew!!!!
Consider building a home made "dum waiter" elevator to the second floor...... nothing for people to ride in but something that will handle a motor on wheels, a tranny, T case...... All built of wood driven by a 110 Volts 1500 pounds winch mounted above.... you can check Phil Waterman's site for ideas as he built one ........ when you get to be 80 years old it will be a blessing .......
I use a PA 110 v. winch on the "I" beam that overrides the second floor doors.. it allows to store a full engine on a wheeled dolly...... safe and a back saver for sure. A 40x40 in. elevator floor would allow wheel on... wheel off..... one man job!!!
You are the envy of all MLU......
