Restating what everyone has said, but at the very least, make sure your floor is painted a lightish colour with some kind of protectant so its easy to clean up spills, and generally easy to keep clean/sweep plus if you drop some small part its easy to find on a clean floor.

Also at the very least ensure you have enough space to pop the bonnet. In mine, the roller door machine gets in the way, so make sure you have that covered.

Good ventilation is a good idea. Don't want to loose a brother cos he couldnt breathe!

Insulate, definitely. At least sisalation. You know my thoughts on the ultimate and I'm still planning and pricing for brisbane.
