When I build mine.. I want the following: - 2-post lift bay - a walled and drained wash bay - a work bay (machine tools, work bench) - a room for hanging out with couch, tv, bar, bathroom - open indoor area to park at least 6 cars - a storage/parts area (in a loft?)
I figure this would have to be at least 2500sf or larger...
