<VV> Need garage ideas (no Corvair)

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

Hmmm... run at least one 20 amp 120V circuit, and at least one 30 amp  240V 
circuit, for welders, big air compressors, etc. 
 
LOTS of T8, 4 foot fluorescents (less energy, electronic ballasts, starts  
down to 0ºF).
 
Mini split heat pump, 24,000 BTU. Gets heating and air conditioning all in  
one shot, and non combustion heat! And no shared equipment with the rest of the 
 house. 
 
Insulated doors with good weatherstrips are a MUST! As is general  insulation 
overall. You'll be glad you did when it gets REALLY cold. 
 
Not a big fan of floor paint, I've seen too much of it chewed up by jack  
stands, floor jacks, brown spots from tires, etc.
 
Floor to ceiling shelves all along the back wall, and one side, but not  
where it'll interfere with the cars. 
 
And that describes my present garage!

Hi,

We are building a new house, and for the first time I will  have a two-car 
garage to play with (24' x 24').  As long as the wife  can park her mini-van 
in it, I get to do what I want with the rest.   Anyone out there have any 
neat-o ideas as far as storage, wiring, best  brand of epoxy floor paint, and 
what have you?  I want to turn this  into the palace of my dreams!

Thanks,
