I also like the option what -dave has mentioned below (about putting a wall 
up the other way and adding a window unit to vent to the shop interior.
 
I really do not want to lose sight of making the space more comfortable.  
It appears that others want to be comfortable by sitting in a chair, but 
how nice would it be if when sitting down you could be nice and cool in 
summer and warm and toasty in the winter?
 
I propose that we start meeting on Saturdays to get this going.  Who is 
in?  I know we can do this, just look at what we have done with the CNC.
 
Come on guys/gals...lets do this!!  (Nick, please chime in on anything we 
need to know about what Griffin is responsible for and what we can and cant 
do)
