Ed,

That's merely what we all  need!  Even though I have this marvelous large 
workshop building now the ceiling height is only 10 ft 4 inches.  I 
am in the same boat as you in that to operate MTC or larger coils I 
must wait for a weather opportunity, also coordinate a visiting 
helper, and set up outside.  I'm knee deep in snow here now and the 
winds are brutal most days.   Oh well!

When I can swing the financing I propose to raise the ceiling in one 
room that has a 27 X 31 foot floor space where I've already run in 
filtered power and a ground system.  If I add another 15 feet I'll 
get 25 foot ceiling height making a box big enough to set up a decent 
1/2 megavolt commercially capable HV breakdown testing (oh yes and 
great Tesla coiling) room.
