Since it's long and skinny, how about a tool cart or two with basic tools such as sockets, wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers, cordless tools. It's not a fab shop, but these tools will allow some light maintenance. Also consider a jack & jack stands to handle a flat tire, a nice tire inflator, and...

I'll second the idea of a shipping container or two: you can start using it immediately and give yourself some breathing room to organize and allow use of your main space.

Did you ever receive a qoute? I would follow up with a quote for all of the lower drawers to be full width. From mu experience, the number of drawer "slides" are more expensive than the full width drawers.

How about unistrut and all thread rod? Loading and unloading full 4x8 sheets 10" or less from the ceiling sounds like a bear.

Did your engineer have a rough idea on how deep/tall ghe bar joists will be? Need to factor that into your wall height to get the 'net' ceiling height.

It should work. Check the manual of the NVR before you buy. I have a Lorex system and the manual has diagrams showing that you can plug the POE cameras directly into NVR or a POE switch.

I'm not a plumber by any means. If you do decide to repair with couplings and glue, I'd definitely recommend using the slow set glue as mentioned above. It also helps to have a second or third pair of hands to get it all in place. My experience is using 4 inch schedule 40 pvc to extend some...

I know this isn't what you asked, but would recommend taking care of painting walls and ceiling, floor coating, and lighting before you start moving things back in. Much easier to take care of before you move back in. How tall are your walls? Lots of shelving options ranging from diy with...

Have you looked into wiremold raceway? It's like conduit on steroids...it can handle something like 30 or 60 current carrying conductors, where conduit requires derating the amperage after 9 current carrying conductors (not 100% certain). It allows you to add recepticals or new wiring anywhere...

YYC, Can you post some details of the valve and timer? That system seems ideal for me since I don't use a ton of air.

Water separators work by causing the air to spin in a sporal as it enters the device. The condensed water is heavier than air and the spinning droplets fall to the bottom. It's similar to a cyclone on a dust collector. Water separators have a drain at the bottom, can be manual or automatic...

I didn't see much on the line voltage devices: 120/240 volt receptacles or switches for lighting. I'd put together sketch of the floor plan showing location of devices, which devices are on dedicated circuit. Receptacle height should be specified. Some additional items to consider: Three way...

That came out really well...quite the transformation! Thanks for sharing some of the details like the access panels. The shelving units along the perimeter are really nice and still give you lots of floor space.

If staying with a single structure, I also agree with creating clean and dirty areas. I would build it with no internal colunms for maximum flexibilty. Then you could build a non load bearing partition wall between the clean and dirty areas. I'd put a roll up and man door to allow access...

I've had the jawhorse for over ten years and it's very versatile: mitersaw stand, clamping for cutting/grinding/drilling/routing. Even used it to support 12' tall 6x6's before getting temporary supports in place. Great when working alone. Also used it for adjusting door hinges on a sagging door...

I'm thinking hard board (masonite) and you could secure each with two holes and a zip tie around the mesh grating.

Looks great! That's a ton of storage. How tall are you ceilings? Looks like you can accommodate a second row of upper cabinets if you needed additional storage.

A radiant barrier needs an air gap to work, so the fork should face the interior of the garage.

Some clothes irons have a built in retractible cord reel.

I think one of big advantages is flexibility and modularity.
