Six weeks ago was the point at which it all got moved

and the conversion/extension work began. By this weekend,
I'll be putting in the new network cable and starting painting
in the new computer room. The walls have been lined and
plastered (makes the room smaller, but deals with the
condensation issues), new ceiling, it's all rewired (175 metres
of cable in the power circuits alone), purpose-built workbenches
(still to be built, though), raised computer floor, floor boxes
for power and network, floor-to-ceiling shelves in one corner to
hold and run about 20 small machines and their peripherals, space
for two DEC racks and a couple of BA23's.

Ok. Let's start a fun thread for a change. Who among us didn't
spend some time with paper and crayon as a child designing the ideal
"fort"? What kind of computer shop would you build given sufficient
time/money/space?
