The good news... I am moving and get to build another.
I have the opportunity to build what I want within reason. But so many things are preferences not needs. Help me decide!
I am a hobbyist, not a professional, so I don't need a lot of square feet. I could easily fit 24 x 24 in the new space, and this is about twice the footage of my current shop.
Concrete floor? Tell me about radiant heating... and what covering on the floor, if any?
(My current shop has a rough-sawn oak floor I put down 30 years ago. I'm going to miss it.)
I want 9' high ceilings joists so I can maneuver 2x8 material.
Would the walls be...
Wood plus vinyl siding?
Concrete block plus siding? (Is this done?)
Corrugated Metal?
Overhead garage door for ease of equipment in-and-out?
I don't need three-phase; my metal lathe is my only 3-phase motor and it has a VFD.
And I must have plenty of natural light. Plenty of it. I am tired of being in a barn.
Also, heat at least, AC could be nice.
