the garage
Ill start out like this.
Having ( a local contractor) build me a detached garage, thinking 20 x 20 but may go 24x20. Its really a 1 car garage with ehough room to park 2 if i needed too.
things im doing inside,
-large window unit 10000 btu, built into the back not eliminating any windows
- 80 gal air compressor with piping down 3 sides, (rear and both sides)
-16 foot work bench with cabinets on the bottom and electrical outlets every 4 feet on top
- a vise on bench
- adding a 18 x 24 inch piece of steel to top of workbench also
- Epoxy floor paint with the clear
- electrical outlets in the roof, fromt and back for droplights
- and for now four 8 foot twin fourecent lamps for lighting
- a fridge
- a sink
- maybe a dryer vent with some hose for an exhaust scavenger.
- lots of storage up top
- cant afford a lift but i did do 9 ft ceilings and 4 inches of concrete
- and im using an old tv and dvd player (stereo) for entertainment. if i can find 100 yards or so of coax cable ill hook up the satelite in there too.
anybody have anything they can add they found usefull when doing thier own garage or ideas they have seen. i had a link a long time ago to another forum but lost it.

im painting the floor a light grey epoxy with flackes and adding several coats of clear im hoping between that and sheer briliance of the lights im adding itll be sufficiant. I dont have room except on the right side for low level lights... I do however have some portable flourecents i use when painting i can drop under the cabinets...
