I have a 45X60, heated. Building a 20X45 addition for an office and employee breakroom.Trusses are up--hope to have it enclosed by end of next week.
Things to have in the main shop: Obvious stuff like welders, torch, good drill press, heavy vice, metal-toped workbench, etc. Also BIG air impacts, cordless impacts and drills, roll-around tool cabinet with some sort of table/worksurface attached,posi-lock gear pullers,cherry-picker or larger hoist, torque wrenches, about a dozen vice-grips, tap and dies, 2-stage air compressor with large tank,
And the most important thing: a large broom and the mindset to keep the shop clean. No beer here--I keep it in the house away from the tools--not a good combination in my book.
I am currently trying to figure out what is wanted in my new addition. Here is what I know I'm adding to the office/breakroom so far. 2 desks in an L-shaped configuration--1 for computer/internet and one for paperwork. Windows looking out onto main shop area. Washer and dryer to get the filthy hog clothes out of the house. Plenty of filing cabinets.Phone in each room, Big table that several people can sit at at same time. Sink, microwave, fridge, coffemaker. Old couches/comfy chairs for some after-hours relaxing(may bring the beer in from the house if no one gets in to it during the day). Maybe a TV. SIGN ON THE DOOR TO THE NEW ADDITION THAT SAYS MANURE-LADEN FOOTWARE MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE ENTERING.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
