    Any reason to keep electric drills? Have battery and air ones.

    I have 4 cordless drills that are used 99.5% of the time. The rest is an old 1975 Craftsman Drill press for .4% and a corded 1/2" Skil hammer drill that is used .1%. The problem is that when I need a corded drill, I NEED a corded drill. I vote to keep at least one corded drill.

    Garage shop - the journey or the destination?

    What Ceiling Height?

    Sounds like the OP only needs 9'. I'd inch it up as high as can be afforded right now not going over 10' based on your needs. It sounds like this is a true garage and not a workshop/car repair hobby area that "needs"/wants a lift or the extra height.

    What Ceiling Height?

    If you plan to be loading/unloading things into the truck while in the garage, you might want to go over 10'. Just depends upon what YOU need. I agree with the 8' tall door! Can you give us a better idea of your activities concerning the tall truck?

    Power to 60x40 shop (new build)

    Do you really need 200 amp in the barn? What are you running in the barn that takes 200 amps? Not saying you're wrong, just curious. If you actually need 200 amp, will the power company put a separate service in just for the barn?
