In Skyrim and previous Fallout games, you needed a home to store your findings permanently.
Is this still the same in Fallout 4? And when will the first spot come in the main story line?

There are 78 permanent SPECIAL points in Fallout 4.
- You start off with 28 points.
- You can find a You're SPECIAL! book in your Sanctuary home for another point.
- Can only increase a maxed stat if a debuff like alcohol is used to temporarily lower one of your maxed stats
- You can train all your SPECIAL stats up to 10, so that's 42 remaining points.
- Additional Bobbleheads (for each specific SPECIAL stat) can be found, 7 points.
You can max out your character with 10 in each SPECIAL trait provided every time you level up you simply choose the appropriate training to increase your stats (as opposed to choosing perks).
Remember, there's no level cap, so you can keep on levelling and start getting other perks later.
So you start off with 28, but you can easily improve all of them to 70, should you choose to only train those perks starting at Level 2.
This means 70 - 28 = 42. Meaning the earliest you could max out all your stats is getting to Level 43, while every time you level up putting points in the stat you want to increase, provided you also don't find any bobbleheads along your way.
Additionally, some perks grant permanent increases in stats at specific times of the day or at a certain HP level, so those are technically also "permanent".
Above half way through the main story but not by much. You can continue doing side quests even after completing the story but later in the game you're required to make some permanent choices.

The Workshop is a secure location to store items (the workshop in Sanctuary is available immediately upon exiting the vault). Actual items (ie: not junk) stored in your workshop store will not be broken down automatically during construction of other structures.
Generic containers can also be used for storage as they do not appear to be reset after a period of time (like previous Fallout games and other games using Fallout 4's game engine like Skyrim) - I've had a set of containers (filing cabinets) that I placed next to my Workshop in Sanctuary and I've been storing Power Armor components in one and holodiscs in the other - so far these have not reset (over a period of three weeks of game world time).
