The best thing to do is to insulate every where you can. When I built mine the best things I added were, an air conditioned office space w/bathroom, with the top and walls insulated extra, and the top floored w/steps to use for storage space. A 4" pipe set in the concrete before pouring the floor, to put the 1/2' plate welding table w/vise on it, so when I get to hammering., or pulling on it, I don't have to chase the table down. Doors need to be at least 12' widex10' high, when backing trailer in it gives room to manuver. I also built mine with as a friend so aptly put it;"drag through capability", that means that there are doors right across from each other and you can pull some thing in and the tow vehicle can go right out the other door, sure makes it easier. I also sectioned off a "clean space" for working on small or delicate stuff like wife's furniture refinishing, also have air conditioner there for humidity/dust control. also have walk in doors on the other 2 walls that do not have large roll up doors in them, gives a chance at a breeze from all directions. The roof vent is nice to let the hot Georgia summer air out. Sky lights are bad news, read that; LEAK!!!!!!!!! Things I wish I had done. larger than 30'x75' the first 25' bay of the Butler building are a covered porch that has my twin post auto hoist on it, and a nice place to run up under to get out of vehicle when it's raining, but would like to have the other 23' for inside space also. This is my opinion only. Gene Davis
