So, moving to a new home.. going to have either an existing or built pole building for the car-addiction. Looking for those of you with Garage-Mahals to chime in. Right now I am working out of a 2 stall garage 24x24x8. Workbench in the front on a 5' deep raised stoop, wood heated, partially insulated. There is not enough width for working on cars with crap along walls (crap being a parts washer, bench grinder, shelving, etc) and it's fairly crowded with all the big stuff (woodstove, engine hoist, engine stand, blast cabinet, drill press, band saw, table saw, 3 welders, etc) that is all roaming the space. So, looking for suggestions and advice from those of you that have dedicated hobby space...
Things you would do again Things you regret doing Layout suggestions Storage ideas Workbench ideas (location, layout, etc) Anything else you think might be useful. I would love to go to a 2 post lift down the road so I want at least one high bay for that, but for now I'm thinking something like this: 28'w x 40 (or 48')'l x 14'h 2 stalls wide, with workshop in the front (away from the doors) 2 overhead doors on short end, 1 mandoor, some windows of some variety for light. Concrete floor and approach 220v electric Water if I am lucky Insulated and heated (Michigan winters) Will be wired for music, internet and phone as well. So, toss your ideas out.. I'm game to start figuring out how to set up the future work space! Wallyman This e-mail and any attachments contain URS Corporation confidential information that may be proprietary or privileged.
