Greetings everyone. Looking for feedback on this new build. Building a 3,100ft² single story home in Northern Kentucky on 20acres. The attached garage is 1,330ft², 35.5’ deep by 38’ wide with a 12’ height to the eve. This garage will be more square footage than my current stopgap home in Cincinnati haha. Will be fully drywalled in, not currently planned to be insulated. 16’ and 8’ garage doors.
Usage. Vehicle maintenance, storage, modification. Light fabrication with welding grinding cutting etc. Storage for beekeeping supplies and general yard work. I love tooling around on cars and building stuff.
Power: want to have 120v outlets basically everywhere I can put them, especially along the backside of the wall where a custom work bench will go. I want 240v outlets at both garage doors for EV chargers, two in the ceiling for a 4-post and 2-post car lift, and one in the back corner for a welder hookup.
Air. I want to put a 60gal compressor in the basement and hardline to the garage. My builder is concerned with routing airline in the rafters because it wont be insulated or heated. But it would be great to have air drops above the car lifts, by one of the garage doors and two along the work bench.
Lighting. Not really sure what to do with this ceiling arrangement. Looking for input.
Doors. Planning on doing jackshaft openers to have to doors ride the contour of the ceiling to not interfere with car lifts.
Feel free to throw your $0.02 or call me a fkn idiot. Cheers.
Drone footage. I take my drone out every couple weeks for update shots.
