I would have saved some dough on the work-stand base and just bolted the post to the floor.
Enjoy the year-round comfort of the basement!
Cool in the summer, warm in the winter (the furnace has a slot that opens to pour heat out). The basement really is the perfect solution. If only I had an external door outside. I have to go up the stairs to get out which can be a pain. But, all my cleated shoes are upstairs so no problem there.
Good point about the workstand base. Although bolts mean drilling and anchors which is a little more permanence than I want. I still like being able to move around if need be. But, one day I may bolt it down.
