The windows in my new shop are about 48" up from the floor, this works 
because I also have a 10 ft ceiling. Note: I only determined it to be a 
workable shop and not a room filled with heaps of old crap last weekend 
so haven't had a chance to work with things.  The sills are horizontal 
surfaces, so attract the usual detritus, most of the stuff there now are 
things I haven't sorted out where to keep or indeed if they are to be kept.

My wife can't open the windows and it would be a stretch for me to reach 
over the bench to do so. However I put these in purely for natural light 
and haven't opened them since the construction was completed. I'm in 
North Florida and the prevailing winds make the windows at each end of 
the building useful for ventilation during the brief periods in the 
spring and fall when it makes sense.
