Sorry for the late response but here is a link to the light I used. There are two 8' light strips per package. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Commercial-Electric-8-ft-64-Watt-Equivalent-Integrated-LED-White-Strip-Light-Fixture-4000K-2-Pack-WS-S03A38A1-40/312711954

And now the transfer of stuff from the garage to the shop really taking place. Still waiting on driveway to be poured because of the wet weather we had last week. Got a bunch of these on clearance from Home Depot. Normally $269 got 6 of them for $109 each. Slowly coming along getting...

Yes, these cabinets have been with me for a while. I got them back in the glory days of the Sears points specials and I think the price was $100 per box and I got aout $20 in Sears points which I used to buy a ridiculous amount of hanging hooks and accessories, lol. Actually now I wish I would...

Well, I found a great deal on Facebook marketplace on exactly the Gladiator 8’ workbench I wanted and a couple more rolling cabinets so grab those as well as a new to me Kobalt belt driven compressor so those have been added to the damage… Country came and set the culvert and fill dirt/sand for...

There is exactly 96” between the large cabinets so I’m going to get a husky 96”x24” adjustable height work bench to fill the space and then thinking I’ll put some rolling drawers on either side underneath the workbench. The Gladiator stuff has gotten even more expensive than it was when I...

Now the layout dilemma! I’m hoping this doesn’t take too many revisions, lol. I’m thinking I’ll setup all the cabinets along the back wall and rolling tools and hanging tools will be on the side wall. Now to move about 3000 things over from the garage.

I haven't committed to air conditioning the shop yet. If I did anything it would likely be two mini splits. As for other toys I have a boat that needs to come back home from the storage unit!

7'9" to the bottom of the beams. Plenty of clearance for my needs.

Finishing out under the mezzanine. Hoping to move my garage cabinets over this week and start setting up shop! Electrical is all done and lighting inside and out is all finished up. Driveway and the rest of the concrete work should get poured over the next two weeks.

I have one circuit run to the center of the main ceiling for a big fan or additional lights. I have a switched junction box under the loft for running additional lighting. I haven't figured out what lights to use under there yet.

Got the trailer out of the way for a better look at the space under the loft. I’m going to use the space as my primary workshop/tool storage area. Ran plenty of outlets, lol.

I’m not sure if metal would be an option but I love the size of my 40x50x14. 3/12 pitch roof gives me a huge amount of center clearance and we just finished up installing the 20x25 mezzanine. I would definitely go with the taller walls and bigger doors. You can’t really go back and add those...

Rolling along nicely and time for an update! Mezzanine loft is all installed and decked, stairs are welded in place and are sooo nice! Electrical is coming along and have plenty of plugs and I think 6 overhead UFO led lights should be adequate for overhead lighting. I’m going to go with a bunch...

Got a great deal on some industrial stairs to get to the loft $475 each. Gonna put one up along the wall and just have to duck below the beam. The second one is actually for the builder for his shop loft.

I went through about 10 different contractors to find the guy/crew I’m working with and probably got 15-20 different concrete quotes. The guy I ended up using had two excellent personal references and I went and looked at one of his buildings in person and really liked the way it turned out...

All finished up and insulated! I’m super impressed and the crew did a fantastic job. I’m gonna do a more thorough inspection this weekend but everything I’ve seen looks awesome and really clean.

Flying together now! All that’s left is half the roof and trim work for the sheet metal! Hoping to have doors hung in 2 weeks or less. I’ll be working on electrical this week.

Walls and insulation going up. Should be done by Friday with walls, roof, trim and gutters. Loft beams are in and mounted. Doors are ordered but will take a while to get in. Looking good so far!
