First post with pictures, glad to join you all. Great information on this forum!

Well, this shop was a dream as a teenager working on crappy cars with my friends out in the weather just so we had transportation. Fast forward a lot of years...

The shop is really messy right now, recovering from a bad motorcycle accident in June so things got away from me. I am also in the middle of a new project - 2 post lift!! Woohooo! Been waiting on this a long time.

It is 40'x60' with 16' ceilings. Built into a slight incline, so footings, stem walls (3' in the rear), 2x6 construction. Floor is 6" pour with 1' rebar grid. Insulated, smooth sheetrock finish, roll up doors and a waste oil heater. Small office up in one corner. I buried conduit from the house and pulled CAT5 cable and coax to network box for distribution into the office. Been a few projects in here over the years and I look forward to more with the relative comfort of the new lift!

I think you installed the lift wrong. Just kidding. That is a great shop, love the windows installation height.

South facing, so brings lots of light into the shop. Thought about skylights, but decided against them. Now washing those windows.....

That lil Kubota has been a fantastic little tractor. I have a small backhoe for it and it has done A LOT of work that has saved my back. I bought it many years ago when we first got the property before the shop was built. It is sitting there as I just replaced the ignition switch. With my accident, I move a little slow right now and that was as far as I wanted to walk after pulling it out of the bay to get my son's car in to replace a fuel pump. :)
