A bunch of that space looks like storage and packing/shipping, can't that go in the house? Car stuff can sit outside or in a temporary shed, of course.

Agreed. Wolf works in an untidy environment and those habits won't change. I'm somewhat the same way although I will pick up and put away everything periodically. The thing is, I don't have ongoing work as he does.
As I read this thread and see "16 hour days" and "three, four month, or sometime longer lead times," I see something wrong. This business is not producing enough profit. With that kind of demand, expansion into a viable workspace away from the home is the logical step.
I'd look into the accounting side of this business and see why there is no provision for proper overhead to afford a modest workshop outside the home.
In the meantime, Wolf is going to have to focus on organization in order to "cram" this operation into the too small space available while seeking ways to move out and into a proper shop.
