What about posting some pictures, guys?
My own situation has developed on nine acres on a somewhat sandy upland area - cleared forest in a very mountainous locality, actually. This has been a family situation, and not highly capitalized. My wife and I have spent a lot of our work lives being freelance & home-based, which has offered personal freedom but not always a consistent income. Hence, we also each took nine-to-five jobs for stretches lasting up to seven years. But overall, limited funds meant that I don't have an ideal shop situation full of dream equipment. I've got portions of three buildings where some of my tools are kept - carpentry/woodworking things in a portion of our larger shed (16x35 ft) and also, along with some mechanic's and electrician's tools, in a portion of my basement. And I've got a covered but open-air welding & metal-working area behind our converted barn. I guess these are my "man caves".
