not sure if this mentioned yet but for my aircraft hangar, I bought 600' of pex 
tubing and thing foam insulation and plan to pour the floor ontop of that.  you 
can be comfortable at a low air temp if the floor is warmer and it also drives 
out corrosion-inducing dampness.  can heat the prop glycol with a wood furnace, 
coal furnace, solar panels etc etc

So, moving to a new home.. going to have either an existing or built pole 
building for the car-addiction.  Looking for those of you with Garage-Mahals to 
chime in.  Right now I am working out of a 2 stall garage 24x24x8.  Workbench 
in the
 front on a 5’ deep raised stoop, wood heated, partially insulated.  There is 
not enough width for working on cars with crap along walls (crap being a parts 
washer, bench grinder, shelving, etc) and it’s fairly crowded with all the big 
stuff (woodstove, engine
 hoist, engine stand, blast cabinet, drill press, band saw, table saw, 3 
welders, etc) that is all roaming the space.  So, looking for suggestions and 
advice from those of you that have dedicated hobby space…
 
Things you would do again
Things you regret doing
Layout suggestions
Storage ideas
Workbench ideas (location, layout, etc)
 
Anything else you think might be useful.  I would love to go to a 2 post lift 
down the road so I want at least one high bay for that, but for now I’m 
thinking something like this:
 
28’w x 40 (or 48’)’l x 14’h
2 stalls wide, with workshop in the front (away from the doors)
2 overhead doors on short end, 1 mandoor, some windows of some variety for 
light.
Concrete floor and approach
220v electric
Water if I am lucky
Insulated and heated (Michigan winters)
Will be wired for music, internet and phone as well.
 
So, toss your ideas out.. I’m game to start figuring out how to set up the 
future work space!
