QUOTE(billh1963 @ Dec 10 2016, 12:32 PM)  QUOTE(mepstein @ Dec 10 2016, 11:23 AM) That's where you are going to have to decide whether you have a garage or a shop or both. Our blast cabinet, even with a big vacuum, puts off a lot of fine dust, add in grinding and bodywork and we get a constant layer of dust settling in the cars. Do you want a working garage or a storage garage. It's impossible to keep cars clean in a working garage, that's why we added a second storage facility across the parking lot. That's a good point. That's what others have told me as well. That may be what building 2 becomes... We buy a roll of sheet plastic from the paint store specifically used to cover cars. Not useful for your daily drivers but will work for overspray and dust on your cars that don't get driven much. |

For your hoist(s) will you need a higher amperage circuit? Work benches will go against the side without the walk out door. That will be one continuous wall and I'm thinking of getting something like these: Garage Cabinets and Work bench bill, I'm looking at these too- Home depot carries them and had a 50% off sale on them so look for those deals- I was looking at a wall of these too, and yesterday my wife sent me a link from overstock.com for these as well. I have not ordred but should have when they had the 50% off at HD. - |

I have been looking at those New Age cabinets at Home Depot, and they are a lot cheaper. Not as large of a set, but you could buy two and still be less than that. Free shipping to home or store.

LIGHT. You can't have enough of it. I added a garage/shop a few years back. Glass roll-ups, glass man door, windows, sky lights... It's a fantastic space due mostly (I feel) to all the natural light.
Having a telie surround sound is damned nice also. |

Makes me wonder why I live in a land of 1/8 acre lots and 550sq/ft max garages (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Building a garage is so fun, enjoy it a d do the floors (finish of your choice) before ANYTHING goes in it. 11 years later I still haven't done mine yet. |

Hot water heater
Dishwasher (for parts) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Washing machine/dryer (for rags) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Oven (for power coating) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (Craigslist used ones) Plan for heat? Gas line? Roof stack. Compressor shed outside -poor a small pad and use some similar tin. As mentioned above storage above your storage area and also above the bathroom. Insulated doors as the kits to do this later are a pain and look like crap. And the laws of garage physics will kick in and things will expand to fill the space and you will need a bigger one. Mine is currentl y 30x50 and it seem small now. |
