Have you thought about building a large storage shed in there?
I'm about to run into the same issue, as we're buying a house, and I want to
turn part of the garage into a machine room. In all likelyhood I'll resort
to framing out part of the garage. I also want a darkroom, and will either
frame out part of the garage, or put in a storage shed and build the
darkroom in that.
I'm also interested in hearing about the cheapest
way to get the
electrics wired, preferably from someone who's done it (Sridhar?
Will Donzelli?).
This is another problem I'm looking at as the house is a bit underpowered.
I figure the PDP-11/44 can be run off the dryer circuit (it has been stored
at my parents since I bought it in the 90's, and that's how I've run it in
the past).
I'm not sure there is a cheap way of doing it short of doing it yourself,
and I'm pretty sure that would cause problems. The larger issue though is
in getting everything hooked up to the electrical grid.
