Make sure you provide wiring for a 240 V outlet so that you can attach a
welder and/or an oven for powder coating.

Subject: [TR] Non-TR Building a Garage - do's and don'ts advice
I'm finally going to do it. I'm going to refinance my house and pull some
money out to build a detached garage. Any refinance advice - I'd welcome any
advice from the collective knowledge - please post me directly.
Going to leave the attached garage for my lovely wifes car and maybe the
running TR. We have so much in there right now I can hardly turn around!!!
I'm looking at 26 w x 32 long. 12 ft ceiling (for my 4 post lift). Plenty
deep for work benches/tools. 12/12 pitch with a storage loft overhead.
Single door or double? 26 ft wide enough? I will need plenty of power -
welder, air compressor and beer fridge.
Should I put a big steel beam to support my chain hoist for pulling engines
or are cherry pickers a better device?
Can you share with me some of the must haves for a garage and some of the
don't bothers?
I was thinking about a shower - but the contractor told me he bet I wouldn't
use it. He said for the money I should not put a bathrrom out there, either.
Please let me know what you think. I need to work quotes with a few
contractors to see how much I will need to set aside to build this.
Thanks!!!!
