I've been lurking here for a short while... trying to soak up enough info on shop construction in order to become comfortable acting as a general contractor for my own shop build

I like OldCarGuy's shop... a LOT!

Its probably going to be a 20x40 shop flanked with a car-port on each side. One for the motorhome, the other for a couple trucks and/or future boat. Then the shop isn't clogged up all the time. Will be wrenching and fabricating mostly - machining too if I can get my hands on some used equipment. Planning for a heavy duty 2-post lift; fresh 200A hookup from the back of the property; RV hookups including bathroom and sewer; backup generator; bridge crane perhaps; may add a shipping container if I need extra space.

Welcome to GJ, u2slow. We have a lot of cool places around here. OldCarGuy's place is a nice one. Your sketch looks like a good starting point. Nice high ceilings.

This thread is really for introductions and doesn't get much foot traffic around here. To get some more comments, start a thread under 'Garage Gallery' and you will get plenty of advice, some of which may actually be helpful.

Good Luck on your project.

Welcome to GJ. Like your layout. Can't wait to see the build.
