I'm guessing you aren't located on the 3rd floor?

I’ve rebuilt cylinder heads in my living room but never a complete engine. Sorry, no pics.

I replaced an exhaust valve on my 1600 Super in the dorm room at Lycoming College in 1970 for my 58 Cab.Fred

Back in the early 80's when living and working in upstate NY I brought my BMW R100RS motorcycle into the living room for the winter, and rebuilt the engine in the kitchen. Seemed like a perfectly normal thing to do while the 911 occupied my 1 car garage and the old (t)rusty Saab sat out in the snow.

Engine rebuild and assembly.......
 
I did one when my wife went to Sydney, Australia a few years ago. It motivated me to get it done before her arrival back home. Right now, she is back again in Australia visiting her mother. Guess what? I got one in the basement partially assembled at the moment. And I got 3 weeks left before she comes home.

I recall my dad removing head studs from a 911 case in the den many years ago. I haven't done an engine in the house, but I did swap out rim halves in the living room for 3 piece wheels for the racecar!

Closest I’ve come is building a wiring harness on the dining room table. The original one I was using as a template was unbelievably filthy in spite of my attempts to clean it before taking it inside.

Prior to decided to rebuilt it in my appartment, I made some mesurement to make sur that the engine could go throught the various doors !!!

I will admit as a teen to building my motorcycle engine in the den of my parents house while they were on vacation. 911 engine is too heavy to do in-house, but fortunately I now have my own garage.

I'm a piker compared with some of these guys. My wife (to be, back then) wondered what she was getting into back when she first visited. I didn't work on engines in the house, but there was a mostly disassembled 911 engine in card board boxes in the dining/kitchen/entry area. Nicely out of the way, only leaking a little oil but the floor was tile so no problem, what's to worry about.

When I was about 20 I built an aluminum V8 in my apartment's living room. The owner of the apartment complex heard about it and showed up one evening a little worked up. All the parts were spotlessly arranged on a white sheet stretched over a piece of plywood.
He took a long look at it and said, "Well I think that is OK." and left. :D

How about doing a hotrod 914 -4 engine in a double-wide???
 
Between marriages, (I'm part Italian), I pulled my 914 engine to pump it up for auto-xing. At the time I was living in a used double-wide I had planted on an inexpensive lot. Not having a garage, I cleaned up the parts at the car wash and brought them into the kitchen/dining room, set up an engine stand and proceeded to use the living room for a shop, to polish the rods, install Z28 rod bolts, light flywheel yada, yada, yada.
The refer was close by with beer and the stereo was cranking.

Life has been tough, now I finally have a Rotary 9K asymmetric lift and am off my knees and dining room chairs.
Today I was cleaning up the fuel tank on the 74 and found perforation - sigh

My college buddy and I rebuilt his VW bus engine in our second floor apartment. Bathtub was the parts washer. Unfortunately we didn’t really think about what the long block was going to weigh assembled, and it was a backache carrying it down the stairs, but we got it done.

We were too broke to go home that Christmas or even get a tree, so we took the bus’ muffler and leaned it up against a wall, draped xmas lights on it and put presents under it.
