Figuring out a floor plan for a new Shop Building. Don't have a unlimited budget so trying to pre plan carefully to get the most value, while not making to many mistakes.
If you were going to build your "dream" shop, or already have one, what do you think should be mandatory, or a feature(s) of yours you wouldn't want to do without. |

The garage that was the business that I sold this past December was 65ft by 70ft of clear floor space and a 14ft ceiling. It was originally built as a potato storage barn with 1ft thick framed, insulated walls and 16 inches of insulation in the ceiling. The concrete floor was 1ft thick which was a great flywheel for heating and cooling. Air conditioning was not an issue here in Vermont but heating sure is. I agree with plenty of electrical outlets. You will need 220 V for the compressor and welding machine. Get a two stage compressor. I had a two post lift which was great and a snap on scissors lift. Make sure that you do not have any floor drains. If you have a spill on the floor, you can clean it up. If it goes down the drain, you have an environmental disaster.
