Hello to everyone,
I've been searching for a website like this for quite a while. I was refered here by a friend, and am amazed by the wealth of information and ideas!
I have a hangar outside of Phoenix, but it is used almost exclusively for storage. It's just too hot for me there in the summertime to even consider living there full-time.
I have a little house in Mineral County in Colorado that has the opposite problem. It is entirely too cold to work on projects here in the winter time without a heated shop, but this issue is being addressed, starting this past fall.
This shop is 36'x44'x10' and will be my primary work area. All my cars are '60s era Mercedes except for the tow vehicle, and all are air-suspension cars. These cars generally turn up with the suspension completely non-functional, so it is also important to have a lift that is flush with the floor, rather than sitting a few inches above the floor. The slab has been set up to accomodate a lift that will allow this.
This is a link to the garage construction progress to it's current state:
http://www.300se.org/Garage/Creede/Creede Garage.htm
I hope to get back to work on it in the spring.
I still have to finalize decisions about flooring, cabinets, workbenches, etc., etc., and have already been getting a lot of good ideas from this website.
Thanks to everyone for taking the time to put up all this information!
