Also coherent, I'm find lots of small, cold, cartridges are easier for me to carry but hey if you've got the "Enola Gay" bombs away.
With small cartridges too much time is lost reloading, 60 foot of beer line and tap clipped to hat brim equals less down time or is that MORE down time, I get confussed.Also coherent, I'm find lots of small, cold, cartridges are easier for me to carry but hey if you've got the "Enola Gay" bombs away.

Curious why the huge easement between the shop and the house? I know its different from county to county, but it seems there should have been some way around that.
I'm asking because I am rough drawing up plans for a similiar build, but "connecting", if you will, the shop to the house by way of a fully enclosed glass walkway.
And thanks for mentioning the three phase thing. It's got me researching now!!!

The best advice I would give you is go to the planning commission and predetermine the easement requirements in your county first, once you nail that down then draw up your plans.
If 3ph is remotely financially feasible DO IT.
Electric bill will be half of what it would be without it, least it is for me. The house electric avg. is .0736/kwh where the shop is .033/kwh. On top of that 3 ph equip pulls half the amps as single phase110. As if that is not enough 3ph equipment is stronger, cheaper and last longer. You wont regret it.
Also if you plan on starting any car/bike in your shop then run a 3’ pvc line down the center of the shop under the slab. Place metal capped clean-outs every 10’ flush with top of slab. connect this line to a in wall vent stack terminating it 18’ above the roof line or anywhere else outside that is suitable for your build. Now by connecting a flex hose from the vehicles exhaust to your under slab vent line you can run engines and not fill your air inside with exhaust fumes.

I've also heard 3ph equipment can be had decent prices at auctions and such. Mostly because not to many people have 3ph ran to their shops. Making the demand for second hand 3ph equipment very low.
Atleast that is what I've heard.

Great "shed" that turned out nice! Also, great advice on building in the exhaust line by putting in 3" PVC into the floor.
Few curiosity questions:
1) Could compressed air drops just went straight down from T?
2) For exhaust 3" pvc in floor, did you have to put that at edges in case weight of vehicle (like diesel truck, etc) might potentially damage it?
3) Didn't see HVAC equipment in pics so curious what you have?
4) With 3 phase electric, how do specific pieces of equipment that run 3ph get power versus rest of shop running 120 or 220 volt? That all done at main breaker panel or what? I'm green on how 3ph works.
5) You also run underground conduit from house to "shed" with goodies like Cat 5e or Cat 6 for internet, phone lines, cable TV, intercom/security system, etc?
6) Consider breezeway connecting nearby buildings for bad weather, or you in state w/ year-round fair weather?
