Moving, going to need to build a garage

You are in just about the same boat as me. And want just about the same thing as me.

First off, I have a two acre yard. But I would think this would apply to anybody wanting to run a lift, GOOD Mig welder, and a large compressor. I am figuring about three to four grand for the welder and compressor BTW.

I am installing a separate utility pole for the electric in the shop. A separate 200 amp breaker at the service. For me it is a lot cheaper than running wire from my house to the shop.

Another thing is a good slab, then I am going to either seal it with paint or go high falutin' and put those plastic tiles down. In any case, my old shop had a concrete floor that had ridges and bumps and hills and canyons. And it sucks big time with a creaper.

Another thing is installing piping in the walls to have a few different locations for compressed air. Keep hoses from running on the floor, and its really not too expensive. I have heard PVC will work, but I think I am gonna go with something a little more durable.

Texas eh? I live in southwest Louisiana. Honestly I much prefer working under a pole barn in the summer than inside a shop. I am seriously thinking about having a "carport" of some sorts so I can move my car outside to work on it during the hotter months.

These are just some ideas. Good look. Suscribed.
