There is nothing like a woodstove in a shop on a cold day to clean up 
the scrap pile.
If you build your shop floor a couple feet off the ground and can keep 
it dry underneath
you could have access doors on the outside and slide lumber into racks 
underneath the floor. A concrete apron outside can allow you to extend 
your shop on nice days.
