I'm Building a Shop for my Obsession (40x60x14)
Finally decided it was time to build a shop in the backyard. It has always been on the to-do list but always out of reach financially. I think I've findally found a spot where I can work it in and help take the load off of my ever growing garage and driveway.
Here are some of the pictures of the progress thus far. Hoping to get the pad going this week.

Here is the basic layout I'm going for.
12x12 doors, two on front, one on back.
Lift and tools with bathroom in middle/front area of RHS.
Metalworking stuff near the rear of RHS.
Storage for projects and vehicles on LHS (until I run out of space for tools/machinery on RHS)

No bar plans. I'm sure there will be room for arcade shenanigans. It seems like I'll have room for more than I can imagine, but that will be short lived I'm sure. Worked on the electrical layout last night all I kept seeing were dollar signs everywhere. Hopefully it'll be half as cool as I hope.

I finally found a color visualizer that had a sample that was similar to my intentions.
Taupe and Charcoal don't seem to be as common as Grey and Charcoal, but I think it makes it look less industrial. I prefer the charcoal on top version.

I know I can just google this but for discussion, how far are you from Norman? Training center for work is in Norman, and I'm sure ill find myself there again in the next year or so.

Height seems like one of those things that is easy and cheap at the start of the project, but expensive and hard to add once it is complete. I wish my garage had 2 more feet of height. If your case I can't see it adding to much to the cost, and like stated, would make overhead storage possible in the future.

Here are a few images of the building in it's current state.
2 Front Overheads (12x12)
1 Rear Overhead as a Passthrough (12x12)
1 Man Door Facing the House
6 6x2 Transom Lights Mounted High
There won't be a formal heat/air system. I'm going to ask the plumber about floor heating, as I've heard the provisions can be done cheaply when doing the concrete. I might add a window unit or mini-split at some point.
