Good Day Everyone

I am one of the silent ones that read the postings in this newsgroup.....I
am building my garage/shop as soon as the snow disappears.Many of you
have
gone thru this..I am trying to think of what I should plan into this
garage
before I build it...I am a Machinist and Millwright by trade and I also
enjoy woodworking and welding. I am open to all suggestions ....here are a
few ...but please feel free to add more..

-what to paint the concrete with?
-what type of exhaust system?
-which is better drywall or plywood interior ?
-different hoist systems?
-what seems to be the common electrical requirements?

Thats kind of a start...but as I said please feel free to suggest things
to
put in or do......I finally talked the warden into the size...She was a
tough sell but I did it.It will be 28 x 32....the only clause is to save
room for her to park her van in the winter.I would like to try and
implement improvements to my design before its built and try to have no
regrets after its done.

Thank You in advance

Pete



I would go for 2 X 6 walls and insulate and sheetrock. You will want to
heat the shop in the winter. Also extra high ceilings are nice if you want
to put in an overhead crane some day. An extra thick floor is nice to. It
only took 3 years to crack the floor all over in my old garage.
