Windows are going to be 4ft tall... and good thinking on going 50in for outlets. I'm sure some plywood or whatever will follow me there. I hadn't considered that. Thanks
I can see that would look nice if they were 36in tall but mine will be 48 meaning they'd only be 32in from floor... thanks
Nice setup and stangs! I'm afraid to do epoxy floors as I'd probably kill them in no time lol. I like the airline setup u have there. I have a 60 gal compressor with a 100ft retracting hose reel in my current space but thinking a piped system throughout might be better for the future garage. Yeah I still use air tools along with some battery ones... thanksMy shop has 13' ceilings, and I had the windows put in fairly high. I get a lot of light, but you can't see in from outside - at least, not on these walls. There is a lower window on the other end above my desk, and a normal one in the bathroom. The lower ones are just low enough I can reach the windows to open them. Thu higher ones (on the right on the pic) don't open, but are high enough I can put shelving etc. under them. Here's a pic from when I was just getting set up. This has worked out very well for me.
Good luck,

yeah, they were 72"x36" slider windows. My man doors & windows were pulls from jobs . all aluminum frames & jambs . maybe not themost energy efficient, but very robust .
Good point about a workbench... is that a 16ft height you got there? I'm thinking they'll look better from outside in my 14ft mounted higher up and probably less 'in the way' inside too. Thanks
My two car garage has a second floor with knee walls. From the outside the total wall height is about 13’6”. I had the window headers set at 9’ and the windows are 4’ tall. I think any lower would have looked too low from the outside. On the inside they are high enough to be out of the way for most things. Here’s a picture during construction.
Most of us have too much **** in our shops, but have you seen plywood pricing?? Might as well bury gold in the backyard
That does look nice from outside at 5ft. I guess I should go between 4 and 5ft to both be out of way on inside and look good from outside. ThanksMy two car garage has a second floor with knee walls.

Yeah good pojnt I might do them lower on right wall where I don't plan to have shelves and tools
35ft from house and yup same siding/shingles
Have you joined the corded vs cordlessAnd that's the challenge with most of these threads - how I work just might (just maybe) be different than you do.
As I get older, my back and knees are asking for the outlets to be raised a bit higher now... they have no concern for cord weight or any other practical matters, just want them raised. Chest high would be best (or so my back claims...).
Have you joined the corded vs cordlessargumentthread yet?
But turns out my persuasive arguments were not enough to convince the masses - it's still being discussed. I used to patronize a bicycle shop that was broken into through the skylights, they were soon re-enforced to make entries more difficult.
This.
