I have always shared a garage for my shops. Only positive side is closeness to house.
I looked at many build option such as, stick build, frame sides with metal roofing and decided to go with an all metal building on a slab.
After many sketches I balanced budget and size requirements and came up with a 22'x 25'x 8' for size. I know now I really should have gone bigger but that would leave me no extra for equipment I need. (compressor etc,).
I coated the floor with an epoxy coating.
I used 2" foam panels on the walls and 4" on the ceiling.
I then covered the walls in 1/2" ply.
Electrical was run in conduit with plenty of receptacles.
I bought a bunch of commercial base and wall cabinets from a hospital remodel job.
I will post more pictures as I get further into it.
