maybe a second floor addition for height! 
Looks like a built-in mirco wave in pic , where's the frig for the CA and BEER?
Nice addition and it is a lot cleaner than my shop. Congrads.

Shop Ideas
I utilized the 3rd bay of our 3 car garage. It didn't have a garage door, so I walled and insulated. I have 110 & 220 to all four walls. Eight Flourescent shop lights provide the light. I built my main bench as a "T". This allows me full access to everything 360 degrees around the project. I also built benches on two of the walls. I've since added storage shelves suspended from the ceiling over the wall benches.

How about a little help on building on glass. I just put a large piece of tempered glass on my bench and have already found out how much nicer my covering looks with nice straight cuts. When building an aircraft how are you holding down the pieces to the glass????? I am definitely going to make some shot bags to help out but what other tricks are you guys using??
Thanks

Building on glass
Glass is excellent to build on!
If your kit has features like jig-tabs on the wing ribs, etc... It's fairly simple.
Slip the plans under the glass. Then position the components directly over the plans on the glass. A drop of Medium CA will hold the parts where you need them while building.
When ready to remove the structure, cut the jig-tabs free and remove the completed assembly.
You can clean the glass by gently scraping the CA spots with a single-edge razor blade. The CA and wood will peel right off the glass.
