First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Geesh, you guys must have money coming out of your ears. :) Your garage/shop specs would cost more than lots of folks houses. :-O
My suggestion. Be reasonable. Yes, it will NEVER be big enough, no matter how big you build it. I built my 69 Bird in a 20x20 standard 2-car garage attached to my old house. Nothing special about it. I did it without an air compressor, or a lift, built in HVAC, etc, etc. Let's count our blessings that we can dream to have these lavish "shops" when other folks don't have any homes over their heads.

Hi Sheen, Very nice plan. I have a wish list started for my shop: * Build it tall enough with good attic access for storage. I plan on going 2 story with a loft depending on the zoning restrictions. * Make sure to put in a sump. * If possible plumb water, sewer hot water tank for a bathroom, wash tub (mops parts etc) and shower stall * Area for washer and dryer. * Room for sandblast booth, welding, grinding etc. (well ventilated) * Insulated room for Compressor, dryer, hot water tank and services. * ventilated paint area (future paint booth) with hazardous material storage cabinets. * Room for two lifts 1 car storage, 1 HD to work on truck, car etc. (As mentioned slab thickness is important) * Floor heating, radiant backup (Required in Canada) * Rough in cable for TV * Floor safe (During slab construction) * Wire for alarm, security cameras. * Pot lights and plugs in eves. * Dry sprinkler system. (protect cars) I want to build a shop large enough for my 5th wheel so I plan on installing a RV plug, sump and water connections inside the building so I could actually use the 5er in the winter months if required. Still adding to the list daily Good luck Brent Block 68 350 Coupe StAlbert, Alberta, Canada http://firstgenfirebird.org/show/closeup.mv?CarID=378 > First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List > ........................................................................ .. > > Anyone have a recommendation for a good way to build a workshop?
