Pictures of my 20X40 Hot Rod Condo Garage (updated 11/28)
I bought this 20X40 earlier this year. It was already insulated, tinned out. It's a small complex consisting of two structures. One has 4 units and the building I am in has three units. Our dues are $300yr this includes property insurance, mowing, and snow removal, and a general maintenance fund.
I finished the firewall, prepped the floor with densifier, and then three coats of clear waterbased sealer.
The heater came with, but I had to hang it. It's a Hot Dog brand.
For Electrical the building has 100amp service. I ran three circuits for outlets (left, front, right sides), and two circuits for lighting, one for the furnace, I have a 230 30A for the compressor, 230 50A for the welder and a future 230 for a lift.
For lighting I have four 6 bulb HO T8 Metallux fixtures. Man these are super bright. I think I may get 2 more 4 bulb fixtures near the front entrance. I also have 4 vintage benjamin lights for task lighting hanging from unistrut. I have another four, two will hang over the front work bench and two over the welding table.
The welding table is surface ground 1" plate on a 6X6 1/4" wall structure. It weighs about 1700-1800lbs
I made the wood topped work benches. The frame work is 3" square tubing and 3" angle iron. The tops are double 3/4" plywood.
I need some ideas on storage. I have plenty of height. I am planning a 4 foot deep shelf across the front and a 2 foot deep down the right side.
Any other ideas for wall storage would be appreciated. my goal is to have nothing on the floor from the front work area back. Any cool ideas on low profile wall cabinets to cover stuff???
