In the old house I had my makerspace/tinkering workbench in a corner of the basement.  It worked, but was a little space-limited.  Plus, the kids would often want to hang out down there with me but they didn't have anywhere to sit or any space to do their own stuff - so they would hang out for five minutes, get frustrated, then wander off.  But the new house had a finished room in the attic, so I built a bunch of work benches up there and now we've all got our own space to work.  The family computer is up there too, plus a bench for Lori to do puzzles.  It's been great!  Sean especially loves it up there - he's actually camped out on the floor a few times since I finished it.
