Regardless of what saw you use (whether hand tool or powered), I prefer to do the initial break-down of lumber into smaller pieces, outside, before bringing them into my tiny wood shop.
In some situations, you may prefer to do dust-creating operations outside. (e.g. if your wood shop is inside a residential/living space)
In some situations, you may prefer to use noisier equipment outside. (e.g. if your wood shop shares walls with a neighbor's residential/living space)
But there are some disadvantages too:
Unfavorable weather will prevent you from getting your woodworking done, in a somewhat unpredictable manner.

folding saw horses (ideally they're small enough to store in the back of my vehicle, so I don't have to drag them down the elevator every single time)
