Sorry for my delayed response here.

Thanks for all of the suggestions and ideas gentlemen.

We are moving in at the start of June. Then we can begin getting to it.

As the garage sits right now it was being used for an upholstery business. All walls, ceiling and floor have been cladded with particle board that has been stained. It's nice but not for the way we desire to use it. So we will begin by removing the wood on the floor and either staining or coating depending on the condition of the floor.

The heating system is one downfall of the place currently. It has 6 small wall mounted electric heaters. The house is being converted to a propane furnace so we may just put in a small propane furnace in the garage as well. Jeff, thanks for the reverberray suggestion. I'll have to do some reading about them. I would love to put a woodstove in the shop but all of the insurance companies have deemed it un-insurable if we do so.

The ceiling height is 14' or 16', sorry I can't quite remember. It's more then enough for a lift and the vehicles we are working on.

Thanks again for the comments and suggestions. Sorry for the lack of pictures. I'll be sure to post some as we move in and work begins.

edit* Mike, thanks for pointing out that site. Awesome shop you've built yourself. Very unique and it looks like you've got tons of space.
