In the main house :bounce: I posted other threads since this one showing the floor, lift, elec, lighting, cabinets, etc. Check those out for updates.

It looks really good in person - better than pics. I'll get the lights and air hose reel and power cord reel and other trimmings back in place and take nicer pics so you can see. But, I'm glad my wife convinced me to reverse the cab colors from the original plan of red boxes and black...

I'm just eager to move back in. Glad I hired our drywall and paint - those guys are taking forever and they're pros. It would have taken me months to get that far on my own! I want my shop back to work IN, not ON! LOL I'll do a new post soon when the counters are done.

I know, I know....but, after much contemplation, there seems to be valid reason for such a color scheme. The darker lower walls don't show marks as easily, and of course the bright white uppers reflect a lot of light. The stripe is simply for style, and since my tool boxes and lift are all...

Update - here's what I've got so far:

I'm not doing the cabs myself. I wish! I could probably pull it off - but not that nicely, not this fast, and not in time to get back into my shop so I can continue using it rather than working on it. I hired it out to some master trim carpenters that have done work for me in the past. They...

Agree - white for cabs is bad. I have white cheapie HD cabs in my "parking garage" and they are dirty - have been since installed. What do you think about this: From outlets down, gray walls. From outlets up, white walls. Red stripe separating the two. Cabinets painted in red (boxes) and...

Me likey!!!!!!!!! Also your color scheme is cool too.

Right - room will be used 98% for non-welding activities so should be designed around that.

Not bad, but I'm thinking maybe red stripe instead :beer:

I will probably begin welding at some point.

Nope, not that. What I meant was, if I paint, say, the boxes a light gray, then the doors white. That would make them slightly more interesting than "all white" and still keep the reflectivity by having the majority of the surface area white still.

Ok, so I've got some custom cabs going in and just did drywall. I am definitely doing the upper walls and ceiling all in bright white to reflect as much light as possible - that much is for certain. I'm guessing the cabinet doors should be white also, but maybe the boxes themselves in a...

I thought I had checked that, but will ask again. Thanks :)

I custom ordered them that way. The extra extension added a total of $225 to my parts and labor cost. Not too bad, but adds way more than $225 worth of usefulness to my shop over the next 20-30 years. No, I would think a 3.5" would be the minimum. We had to drill an actual 3" hole in the...

No kidding! It's only 22-23 feet up. We had a specially made bracket with pulley that fits over a ladder rung, then used an electric hoist to lift it up into place. Took a long time. After that everything was simple. Love your sig - I void warranties. Haha! Fans, yup, agree on that. Put...

I finally got my garage insulated and the mini split installed. I went with R-15 in the three 2x4 walls, R-19 in the 2x6 wall, and R-30 high density in the rafters and ceiling. Fire caulk and penetrations all done properly. Cost installed was around $1100 for everything. I also bought a...

Not a bad idea, Charles. I'll definitely consider it. I do leave my motorcycle trickle charger plugged in constantly to keep the battery fresh, maybe a timer on that one also.

I believe around 19 feet total.
