There are two thing that you will never hear anyone say that has built a garage to ues for anything other than storage, they are: "Man, I put in to many lights" and "I wish I wouldn't have put in so many ele. outlets". I just built a new house with a 4 car garage and hear is a list of the things I added: 1) Gas heat, just a ventless 30,000but model, but it works great. 2) Completely insulated 3) Mounted my Air Compressor in the attic so I would have to listen to it. 4) Two 220V outlets (60 Amp for welding & 20 Amp) 5) All 110 Amp outlet are 20 Amp, not the standard 15 Amp. 6) 11 ft high ceiling. I don't know where you live, but around here, I have friends that have metal buildings, and they are cold in the winter and hot in the summer. When I sat down and figured it all out, the cost of wood frame, vs. metal building (insulation, drywall, everything) it was cheaper to build wood. Metal is great if you don't plan on finishing the inside. Best of luck Ed __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool.
