OK really quick update for those following along – Decision has been made, it will be a U shaped workspace. Standing with your back to the basement corner – to the right will be a 6 foot workbench plus 2×2 low roll away dolly, for transporting full carboys. To the left there will be an 8 foot section or workbench, and straight ahead there will be an 8 foot work/ bar aree.
On either the bar or the left end work area there will of course be a sink. Underneath will be room for a minifridge for two kegs, plus space/power/water for a dishwasher. Under all three sides, except fridge an DW area will be shelving, set back about 8 inches so not banging legs into it…
Bartop I am going back and forth on still; it will either be bottle caps or bar coasters under an epoxy poured surface.
