I have a 30x40 pole building. I made sure the 10ft doors were set so I could drive in and pull out without a care.I had them put in an L position of one another. I put in my own electric service.100 amps, wish I have more. Remember if your feeding the power box from somewhere else to send enough power to the building.I set plug ins in my main work area every 8' in the other areas 16.This way I have enough for work tools in the main area and dont have to run a cord to a battery charger or trouble light when I need to do something back in the corner.I couldnt afford piped in air. I put my $100 air compressor in a corner and ran quick releases to a 60 gal. tank.So if Im doing big things I have volume, but if Im doing little tire pump ups I can disconnect the compressor and go closer if needed without having to drag hose. I put the 4' florecents in the main area,6 lights,on one switch. But added 4 ceramic light bulbs throughout the building.This way if I am just needing to walk through for something I dont need to turn on all the 4'ers.I went to a local lift truck repair shop/rental place.They by chance had a 20' jib crane on a 13' pedestal. When pouring concrete I dug down 2.5' and stuck the 4' round base in and poured the concrete on top. I set it in the middle of the 40' wall.It has a lift cupacity of 500lbs as a swinging boom,but I can put a detatchable leg on the end and add another 1000 lbs. This is my saving grace. I can unload truck or pick up and shift things around without wrenching my aging back. And it swings out of the way when not in use.I paid $125 for it used. Would pay twice that now that I have it.Make sure to make at least a sm. approach to the doors. I didnt and when I am backing something in the little bump up (4or5") will sometimes make an easy job very difficult. I have phone and electric in my building. As of now I havent saved enough to insulate the place so I didnt add water but I put in conduit for it to come through the floor at a later date.Same with a gas line for heat if I get real lucky.This is in central mi.
