Insulate walls, doors, ceiling & footings. Consider tubing in the slab to circulate warm glycol through. Map the coil locations carefully so as to miss the coils when installing lifts. 220V plugs for welder & air compressor. Reinforced upstairs area for parts storage. Restroom. Floor drains to stone sump outside to enable washing down cars in winter-salt rinse. Lots of bench space with good lighting. Racks for wheels & tires. Security system with motion detector and battery backup. Build slab at high enough elevation to assure runoff away from building. Brick, stone or stucco high enough to protect against snow drifts. Insulated, heated a/c office with phone, computer, bookshelves, work table, wet bar. Let us know when the Brute Roost is done!

I'm in the planning stages of building a workshop for my wrenching - tired of working on gravel and at minus whatever. The size of the wokshop will be 24 x 40 and will have a lift. I'd be interested to hear any sort of recomendations that any members may have in regard to my new wokshop - what worked well or didn't work well in some of your shops - or what they may have done differently or added. Thanks to all, Charlie in Ottawa, 62 Sport [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ To send a message to this group, send an email to: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or go to http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Chrysler300/join and select the "Leave Group" button For list server instructions, go to http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/inst.htm For archives go to http://www.forwardlook.net/300-archive/search.htm#querylangYahoo!
