Thanks all for the replies on my funding question. Here's the next biggie.
I live in San Francisco, and am not in possession of a 2 car garage. my friends and I own the building we live in, but probably won't expand our small 1 car garage until we are ready to sell the place.
I am lucky enough to have a room in my flat that I use as a workshop mainly for building robots and little elecromechanical gizmos. this room opens up with double sliding doors to our living room. we have more room than we need, so the wife has agreed to make the dining room our new living room, so that my RV project can take over the combined workshop/living room (she's a good one).
From the sounds of things it will be a long time until I'm mating wings to fuse, so will this space be sufficient for the next couple of years (assuming a slow build). I don?t have room dimensions with me, but we actually filmed a DIY reality TV program in it, so you can see photos at:

the blue room where we are painting the desk is actually the living room in question.
...and what level of noise can I expect bucking rivets indoors? the compressor? we have tenants living in the unit below, so I imagine that I will not be able to rivet into the wee hours.
I do anticipate, in the coming few years, to be in another place and can make a 2 car garage a prerequisite, but who knows how that will go.
does this sound too risky to you all. The posts from my last thread are just ringing in my ear telling me that it will never seem the perfect time to start... ...so just get the ball rolling.
your thoughts?
thanks again,
john
P.S. any one building an 8 in the bay area or greater Denver area that would be willing to give a tour?
