Hi all,
I have the great fortune of having recently bought a house which came with a 2-car shed which will be the workshop for my impending Thatcher CX5 project. The shed is in decent condition; concrete floor with some oil drips and paint splashes, workbench down one side and a pegboard on the back wall (the previous owner had a business repairing carpet shampooers). I'd like to get it set up in a way that will make it easiest to work on my project and to keep tidy, but having not gone through this process before I have no idea what I would need to do to achieve that.
Some things I would like to do just to start:

Some things I would like to do just to start:
- Paint the floor white - nothing fancy, just the concrete paint from the hardware store. I'll probably get a rubber "anti-fatigue" mat to throw down on this.
- Set up some storage to keep all the tools, materials, and bits'n'bobs in order. Not sure what sort of storage I'd need (have only just started acquiring tools).
- Wire up a powerpoint from the ceiling to remove one source of trip hazard and make it a bit easier to use power tools in the shed.
