Looks good, almost too good. Where is the grease, recycled oil jugs, the all so common oil stains on the floor and smudges of dirt?? It looks like a damn hospital! Ha Ha.
I like the layout and the lights, all you need now is a beer cooler, music, and a few sofa chairs so people can hang out in style out there.

I have the grading work scheduled for my 36'x50'x12' this month. It will have 4 roll-up bay doors (3 will be 10' and 1 will be 11' tall), a 10k lb 2-post lift, and a 2-stage 100 gallon air compressor with plumbed in hard lines throughout.
It's gonna cost about $25k. ($15k metal structure, $5k grading and concrete slab, $2k lift, and $3k for electrical). May add 1 sink for cleanups, but that will be later. I already have the beer frige and air compressor.
Still can't believe I got it past the ol' lady and into our budget!!
I'll post some pictures as it goes up.

I built this for a friend of mine in a wheel chair, all I had was a drill and circular saw and some hand tools. Basic cabinets, counter top, some cool mirrored lexan back splash, and slat wall to hang up stuff. Total materials was like $1300.
