You need to convince your wife that house projects will be a lot easier if the shop is setup first. Trying to get things done while 'making do' out there will only slow progress down in the long run.

Yes, the door orientation that you have is exactly correct.

I agree, and I think the missus will be behind me starting with getting the shop setup first. Our son wants to get married on the property in March. We've discussed not doing much other than cleaning and fixing anything urgent before that. That should give me at least a few months to start getting the shop in shape before I have to start bigger work on the house.
