We live in a 120 year old house with an unfinished basement. One room - former coal storage is now storage for SWMBO, about 12 ft x 6 ft. Another, smaller room about 8 ft x 4 ft for utility room, electric box, furnace, hot water tank. Rest of basement is 20 ft by 20 ft. I have an "L" shaped bench - 10 ft long for re-loading along one wall and 10 ft long for golf club building along other wall. Third wall has 10 ft of work bench for actual work stuff and tools, etc.
Fourth wall has steps leading to kitchen and man door leading to one car garage - which is all storage, no vehicles. Guess I'm lucky...
