Sanding you can do anytime and anywhere you don't mind a mess.

I've put a space heater in my garage to work on things in the winter, but for stain/paint to dry that would require longer amounts of time than I'd be comfortable with. I've also done staining in my basement, but I don't have much ventilation, so I try to limit that.

Most my woodworking is done in my basement. It is just warm enough in the winter and running the dehumidifier helps the paint dry nicely. I use some big halogen work lights that put out a good amount of heat also. I've used one of those window exhaust fans from time to time too.
