I’m getting closer and closer to having a finished shop and I cant wait to start equipping it! I ran 3/4” RapidAir piping and outlets so I would have the volume I need for those air hungry sand blasters, shot peen cabinets, body sanders, etc. The 2 post lift will go on the left side with room for a car/tool box/mill between it and the wall. IF they stay on schedule it’s looking like the end of July, but we all know how that goes! Even tho it’s my shop, SWMBO will be picking out the paint colors and I’m trying to steer her toward a light grey, but I would like to hear your suggestions. I also let her talk me into using spray foam insulation and a small split system HVAC for comfort...how does that work with the doors open?

Very nice!



But not big enough. They never are.

True that and I have a contingency plan if things get crowded.

Nice!
Before I moved to my current house my shop was a 12' x 20' single car garage. Small, but I rewired it and ran air-lines everywhere. I mostly worked on motorcycles in it, I had two car carport in front of it for working on the cars. The garage was efficient but it was still pretty crowded. Then I moved two years ago, my new shop is 24' x 36' with three doors. And just as crowded! With all that room I had to find new projects!
So no, they're never big enough!
I had white walls, I made "checkered flag" curtains for the windows, and painted my cabinets and trim coco-cola red with chrome knobs. I was going for a 50's style motif, because I had done the same in the house. I think you should let the wife help with the decor/motif for the garage, she probably has something in mind as far as colors.

Looks great. I'd obey the wife for an easy life and hope she selects a light colour to better reflect the lighting.

Wonderful! Don't forget the urinal><
