Super Freak
So my wife is preggers with 3 months (due date may 4th, what's the odds?) to go and my spare room, where my collection resides, is in dire need of a new location, asap. I live in NYC, so space is a bit of a crisis. I have a 2 bed 2 bath place... and my wife is not going to let me turn the livingroom into a star wars exhibition. I DO have the luxury of a backyard (yay! if you live in NYC, you know that is the equivalent of gold).
Sooo what I was thinking is to buy a shed and place it in the back yard. Something like this:
Shop Heartland Metropolitan Lean-To Engineered Wood Storage Shed (Common: 8-ft x 12-ft; Interior Dimensions: 7.5-ft x 12-ft) at Lowes.com
and basically hook it up like shown in this video: Build Your Own She Shed
Just big enough to line both side walls with detolfs, put up some shelves, display my Fett armor and set up a desk where I can work on my projects and stuff.
MY CONCERNS: NYC weather. I plan to insulate the wood shed, set up a nice electric heater in there, and maybe an AC for the summer. So I'm thinking it will be ok. But does anyone live in really cold weather areas with their collection? Ever have any issues? What about hot weather? I will do my best to maintain the temp in the shed and with it insulated and all it shouldn't be too bad... but any thoughts opinions or experience on the matter would be greatly appreciated! Open to creative shed suggestions as well!
Thanks guys!
