dropit 69 is right! i'm a manger at menards...we have a design-it center that you can draw up exactly what you want, take it to the desk and have the guys print everything out for you so you can see the price of everything needed to buid it, and plans are available too! sorry had to get a hit in for the employer!

Here's My Shop...........

[PhillipM]

Well since we have out grown our current 40x40 shop plus a little 20x30 extra garage a new building was needed..



That area was good but this is much more comfortable




The new shop is about 5,500 sq. ft. Can't wait to get moved into it. Damn Arizona summer heat isn't going to make it fun :(

[Damn True]

Mine is a 30x40 with 10' walls. Built it a couple years ago and just added the new workbench.

I really like your workbench/cabinets. Is that something your purchased, had built, or did yourself?

I need info.

Guy doing a home remodel. Now's the time to insert this kind of thing especially since it'll be so much cheaper than the cabinets in the kitchen. I'm sure I can slip this in.

Man, I'm ashamed to share my mess, but it is a great shop - just a complete catastrophe thanks to my dad and I.

CHROMAHOLIC, I like the diamond plate baseboard. Cool idea.

Thanks for compliment, I lucked out with that stuff because my brother works where they make the big floor freezers for grocery stores. They are actually the kick plates of the freezers, they were 8" high and 48" long which works perfect in a 24 x 24 shop..thanks again, Jim

We've been in this one for alittle over a year now we rented out our other shop next door that is 7200 square feet !! We had two lifts a paint booth, parts room and much more. the one now is about 3900 square but not too organized yet.

Great looking shop and awesome heater setup you have there. Here in Texas I have only seen that type of heater on patios at restaurants.

I am not sure where he got his but Home Depot and Lowes both stock white laminate cabinets like these in varius configurations. We used it to put a kitchen in at my ofiice...inexpensive and easy to assemble and install yourself.

Heres mine...since the car is at the paint shop getting touched up and buffed I decided to paint the floor. I took everything out last weekend, degreased and etched the floor this week after work, primerd this morning and Behr 1-part epoxy color going down tomorrow morning. I store my Mustang in the deep spot and tool boxes and workbench line the left wall. My wife parks her Expedition behind the Mustang. Her car is often relegated to the driveway with my truck because I typically roll the car back when I need to work on it.

The cabinets are from Lowes. Added a 2x4 frame to raise the cabinets and pulled them from the wall 12". Wanted to have a deeper counter and more height.The 2x4's also help to give something to anchor too.The cabinets are called something like Simple Salutions?? Anyway the largest and cheapest cabinets I could find.
Counter is just 3/4 plywood painted.When it gets nasty Ill just rip off and replace.
I probaly have around $1500 into it.

Here's a couple pics of the good side right after I got it done, so there's no pic of the bench and tool box (which is in there now).
The other side is finished but just has cement floor and I have yet to finish the ceiling.

Hey guy's one thing to remember is if your putting a heater in your shop is that the radiant heaters heat the physical objects in the garage were as a heater with a fan heats the air itself. If it's a shop where your car sits alot radiant heaters will dry your paint and rubbers out, a heater with a fan is better for your car.

Wow, my question was so good you answered it twice! Cool!

Thanks for the info. Can I talk you into some photos of how you mounted the system? Are the upper cabinets from the same supplier?
