Update on Garage Build - 16'x20'
I could have gone bigger on the foot print but the height I was limited to about 14'6".
Update:
I still haven't finished the inside yet (3 of 4 walls are done). I did get a 17" bandsaw (220) though which has been great. I had 30 cub scouts cutting pinewood...
Thanks! That's exactly my set up. Wife's car in the garage with the John Deere and kids toys/bikes. Truck in the drive way and work shop in the back. That's funny.
I am looking at purchasing a floor mounted band saw (probably 14"-16") and a belt/disc sander combo. No room in my current garage now but I will in a few weeks.
I do plan on insulating the walls. Nothing yet for a/c though. I have some tools I want to buy first. I did a ridge vent and have the downstairs vented well to the attic so surprisingly it doesn't get too hot in it.
I have nice storage up stairs. About 5'5" at the peak. I was hoping to have 8'...
Well I ended up using a 7-1/2" diamond in my circular saw. A buddy of mine finishes granite and it was a blade they use. It cut great, did my entire garage and also cut a relief joint in my slab with the same blade. It was a mess and I did cut it outside and with a breeze.
