Update to Workyard Schematic

By mike eng on February 25th, 2009

An update to the Workyard schematic from the previous post - this shows a reconfiguration of the work benches and allows for more storage in the winter / more workspace in the summer.

Summer


The adjustable walls open to the outdoor area to allow for ventilation.

Winter


Only three workbenches, and the thermal envelope is only the right half of the schematic. Adjustable walls are shut (obviously).
