The one thing I did different on my 26x36 (too small) shop was to use
gambrel roof trusses. It gives the shop a barn appearance (which is great
for my semi-rural location) and gives me an 11x36 ft storage room for little
more than the cost of the flooring. I've got an opening and an electric
winch that allows me to pull up our little motors, gearboxes, etc.

Subject: [Fot] The garage mahal
Finally, after 15 years of trying to work in an unheated two car attached
garage, SWMBO has agreed its time to expand :-)
Yes, Ken finally gets to look at building a respectable workspace for the
hobby.
I am soliciting design ideas. My requirements are modest. It needs to be a
4 seasons building (i.e. have heat!) be tall enough for a lift, be
permissible within the local historic district zoning ordinance and
Charlie (SWMBO) says it has to be pretty. Like I said, modest
requirements. :-)
I would be interested in hearing the lists input as to other design
considerations. What to I want to make sure to include in the initial
layout? Space is something of a premium and construction costs will, I am
sure, be the biggest limiting factor, but otherwise this is a clean sheet
of paper project.
Your thoughts and ideas will be appreciated.
