Now that things are starting to settle down here in our new home, we broke ground on the GarageMahal.
Any suggestions/tips from those that know much more than I ever will about electricity and other shop essentials? Keep it simple, essential and wonderland arent the same (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Specifically I'm looking for advice on # of circuits and size, as well as floor and wall paint/coating/covering options.

You should visit Mitch's Warren Motorsports Complex.... it is very nicely done.
You can never have too big of a shop.....never. My shop is 30x40 with a 25foot overhang on the back for trailer and camper parking. Make dang sure it is insulated... mine was not when it was built and now I can't afford to do so. I need many more outlets like Mitch said... I would like my air plumbed, but just haven't done it. I do have good lighting and plenty of windows though. I would also check into to STAINED concrete instead of trying to coat it. James |
