This will be a 30x40 foot 'glorified carport' type structure that I will finish on the inside. My plans include a lot of things I have seen here, and the things that I came up with along the way. Lighting is going to be keyless lampholders with 100W CFL's, with some 2 lamp 4 footers over the...

Hello all! I have been lurking for a few months now, getting all the ideas I can. Its time for me to start my build thread, I will document it better this time, as I realized that I have almost no pictures of my old shop. This forum has a tendency to make me waste whole days! I have read all...
