I have a question about shop placement.
I am about to move my shop from one end of my basement to the other. Total basement size is 23x35 and Im moving from the 23x23 open end to the 23x12 end so that we can finish the 23x23 end. I know, not too often you hear about people dowsizing their shop. I am actually looking forward a little bit to the challenge of utilizing my space efficiently. Anyway. The end I will be occupying will also contain the furnace and hot water heater. These are currently "walled off" with a plastic curtain. Do I need to worry more about these since I will be that much close to them. I have an Air cleaner and a DC that work to get most of the dust, and I use a dedicated shop vac when sanding. Im also not spraying any finishes.
My thought is that its not going to be a problem, but I thought I would ask the group for some advice.
