Are the rooms next to each other? If they are I would cut a tunnel through the wall. This would make it easier to transition from one scene to another. Sheetrock is fairly easy to repair if you ever move.
The 2 areas in yellow highlight is what i need help with. These are walk through areas for walk around.
The wife suggested to use the exhisting work bench and build a tunnel through the wall to the 10'x10' spare room... But I will still need the work bench and space for wood working.
Unless anyone wants to buy a tablesaw, Scroll saw, Router, belt sander and drill press???
Would there be any way to come from the left side of the basement? If you could then follow the outside wall to the lower left corner and along the bottom (or South if your drawing is oriented North).
Brakeman, if it were me, I would consider going beneath the stairs and moving my expansion area adjacent to the stairs unless there is some reason that area is off limits.
One man's opinion.
well, I did think of that but along that lower left (SE) corner starting from the stairway is water pipes, washing machine, dryer, main water meter and would be about 40 feet

I would then Have to build a helix over the main layout to get the shelf high enough to get over and by everything...
