anyone have a list, or suggestions on what works or needed for a "perfect" garage?
i saw this post... and its a wicked starting point
Ideas for Workshop:
Dimensions/Size:
- 30x30' minimum
Features which require implementation during construction:
- hard lined compressed air
- CAT5E from house (hopefully less than 300' away)
- Telephone from house
- Cable from house
- water (hot and cold) and washtub basin.
- ceiling plugs for hanging retractable trouble lights
- provisions for hoist in floor
- Wiring for stereo
- Insulated
- Heat (natural gas)
- 220V support
- Air conditioning capable
- bathroom (2 piece minimum, shower stall would be cool)
- Block or concrete up two feet from floor so that washing floor with hose doesn't ruin drywall
- central vac
- exhaust removal port in garage door/wall
- large door for potential to store enclosed trailer indoors
- provisions for washer/dryer
Concrete Floor:
- cut to prevent unwanted cracking
- smooth so that floor can be epoxy coated
Features which require thought, but can be added later:
- hoist
- cabinets, counters
- storage shelving
- tire racks
- washer/dryer
- fridge (Gotta have beer and stuff for martinis!)
Optional Ideas:
- Ceiling fans
- Floor drain (?)
- power outtage generator support
Security:
- security system wiring
- burglar bars on windows
- Full metal doors and metal door frames
