Yes, gutters. That's a possibility, yeah, definitely an area known for lots of snow melt. Maybe just so I can stick a utility pump in there in the Spring....

Related question: in the last pic there you can see a drain plate in the floor. Underneath is a sump pit, maybe a foot or so deep. There is big-O tubing running into it from six different directions, presumably from weeping tile. They have screens on them and they're plugged solid. So...

Alright, finally settled into the Ranch and cleaned up the new shop enough to not be embarassed posting pics. Moved from London, Ontario up to the Muskoka area. Not-so-sleepy cottage country. 4 acres of property, so lots of room to store projects! 2 bay, I think about 30x30? So far...
