I'm preparing to build an external garage that will be for my hobbies. It'll be 35-40 feet in length, and probably around 24 feet wide. It'll not have a room above it so that it can accomidate a lift inside.
What sort of features would you build into a garage like this? Some of the things I'm planning now:
- Probably have a couple of skylights for good light
- Lots of outlets on 30 amp circuits to run compressors etc.
- Some 220V outlets, at least one
- Drywalled and insulated, ducts for AC in case a buddy of mine can scare up a used AC unit to put on it
- I'll do the floor with some good epoxy coating as I have now in my two car
- Lots of lights throughout
- A frame vent fan of good size to help get noxious fumes out
- Some outlets outside the garage to eliminate the need for drop cords out there
- Extra high door to accomidate my enclosed trailer
- Might as well wire in some speakers for music from the get go
Other ideas? I know a lot of you fellows have done garages and have some nice ones, so I figure this is a good group to ask these sorts of questions of.
Thanks!
