I've already got most of what I need (and I hope to soon buy the battery 'Rattle Gun' that I've coveted for some time) however, space for a mill, a mill to go in it, underfloor heating, sufficient height to fit a 4 post lift and a 4 post lift to go in it would make things pretty much perfect. I suppose a bit more floor space wouldn't hurt, either, but given that the content of workshops and garages tends to increase to suit the space available, probably best not!!

It's interesting the number of people who desire underfloor heating in the motor house.
We have underfloor heating in our utility / boot room. (Sounds posh but it's basically a pile of muddy shoes and coats.) The issue is that the heat wrecks the soles (and leather) of shoes and boots. Not sure what it would do to tyres.

A floor made out of any material that does not mysteriously swallow up every nut, bolt, screw and washer accidentally dropped on it.

Going back to a comment Reckers made, a good pal of mine, vintage car owning, has two small chairs known as the 'stools of contemplation'. These are used to sit on, whilst drinking tea and pondering the next steps. Often, we find approaches to problems using this approach. He also has a large hydraulic press (known affectionally as the 'Ten ton Sealey') that prevents us belting the hell out of components resisting disassembly. Often, this is used in conjunction with the stools of contemplation and freshly brewed tea as we wait for the recalcitrant components to separate...
