Two words....Tuff Shed! 10x16 is a tight area with the other junk in there but if its dedicated "yours" it's perfect! I rolled out some flooring that was scrap (free) and got one with no windows and just one door to minimize break ins. Then, I pointed two of our security cameras right at the only entrance. Fort Knox baby.
To the topic at hand, I was a basher, I was a racer, now I am a hoarder....er I mean collector.
Thanks for the tip. I have a local company giving me estimates on what I want next week. We'll see how long it takes after that. I'm a legendary procrastinator...

That's why we ordered ours. If we were to build it we would still be working on it.
More advise- if you plan to spend time out there; insulate, run lots of power, and while routing power string a cat6 cable and a coax just in case you end up with a tv/computer/etc. easier to do it once than wish you had. Cable is cheap, redoing it later is not. We also ran some 4 conductor for our alarm system so the shop is protected also with its own control panel and codes.
