Meanwhile, the general reorganisation is nearing completion. This photo was taken from roughly the same place as the one earlier in the thread, so as you can see the two general benches (electronics and assembly) are just about sorted, and the aeromodelling building board is under that protective ply cover (as it's surfaced in pinboard which is easily bruised).
For those in the UK - if you look at the edge of the shelving on the left you may notice two small striplights with directable reflectors. I found these in Lidl yesterday for (IIRC) £10 each or £16/pair. They're mains powered, but have a lead which "daisy chains" multiple units in a line so you only need one mains plug. They seem very effective.
