Sounds like you have a good plan going. I've been looking at low bay LED UFO type fixtures but I'm rather concerned about only having 6 fixtures causing shadows. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dang that's nice! Can't wait to start mine! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice looking build going on here. Gotta love the space a leech field takes up. I've been fighting that and property line setbacks to get my building placement finalized. I'll be following along here closely. What are your plans for lighting?

The problem with the workout room being in the rear of the building is that the parking will only be along the front. The only thing worse than walking through my shop to get to it would be walking along the outside of the shop to access it in the winter, rain, etc... Like I've said before...

Your shop looks really nice! I doubt mine will ever stay that clean. I wish I had that view but around here it's all flat farm land and I'm only including windows in the OH doors to keep security in mind. I built a 4x6 bench for an outfeed/assembly table for my woodworking hobby and even that...

I've been trying to spec a shutter exhaust fan that I can reverse and automatically open the dampers in reverse with a motor controlled operator. I'm leaning towards a 30" JD Mfg VES Shutter Exhaust Fan for my 48x60x14 shop. Being made in the USA is huge for me. It's rated at 6770cfm on...

I appreciate your input, but I can only access the building with a vehicle from the front side (the side with the 12' OH door). The other sides are limited by septic system components and a property line so any other doors are "light duty" access only. Also, as my first post pointed out, I'm...

Here's the latest layout. I also spoke with the power company today and will be meeting them at my place Monday morning. My house sits about 300' off the road and is fed from a pole mounted transformer that sits about 100' off my house in my front yard. That pole is one of 2 poles in my front...

It's funny you said that because that's exactly what the updated layout has. That way I was able to make the room 18x24 instead of 16x22 that way the wall is 2 feet farther from the oh door. This also allowed me to only have one entry door that opened into the shop, but had a door to the...

At this time, I don't have any other scheme to store my trailer. It has already been sitting outside for nearly 2 years since my tractor takes my open carport space. This is a shop, but I'm also building it as large as possible in order to have the space to store my truck, trailer and tractor...

I'm currently designing my 48x60 shop to include an enclosed workout/yoga room for my wife, with mezzanine storage on top. The stairs to the mezzanine are a perfect place to tuck a small half bath under so that's what I'm doing. Yes it's a shop, but it will also be an area for birthday parties...

The builder stopped out yesterday and checked out the site. Have around a foot of drop across the site so excavation shouldn't be too bad. Hopefully within the next few weeks we will get plans finalized and get to breaking some ground. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gotcha, here's what it would look like. I kinda like it. If it went there I would definitely install it so the vehicle is backed in. I wouldn't want to fight an engine hoist between a vehicle and back wall. I've also placed the lift 4' from the sidewall. I don't know how many times I've...

I considered that as well but the lifts I've looked at aren't much more than 110" between the columns which would defeat the purpose for having a 12' wide door. Here's another layout I've considered. I've read about people installing lifts so you back into them. I grew up working in my...

Just browsing around about lift placement suggests anywhere from 8-12' from the lift posts to a front wall, depending on placement of benches, toolboxes, etc...like you said. I'll be pouring the slab thicker around the entire lift bay, so I'll have a little flexibility in lift placement once...

I can't, my septic system is 10' off the side of the building right there so I'd be driving over the leech bed finger if I did. The building will be sandwiched between my septic system and my property line. I had to get a variance from my township in order to build so close to my property...

Sorry I wasn't specific. The stairs are there to access the mezzanine above the office space. There's no second floor. I played with the lift in the position like you suggested and the turning radius would be too tight. My trucks are both 18.5' long but of course can't say for any future...

Finally getting some final plans put together for a building and have a layout in mind. Trying to nail down the location of the lift so I can pour 6" thick concrete there. I know, I know, 4" is all that's required. The location of the building limits vehicle entrances only to the side with...

Very nice!
