FWIW, I used a plastic drum so no corrosion.

I explained in post #46 how mine is configured and it has worked perfect for 20 years. Only issue I had is when the overflow outlet screen froze up mid winter. It became clogged and weeds grew all around it during the summer. Part of my winter prep in the fall is to ensure screen is clear. Once...

which tire? Goodyear?

Correct me if wrong but aren’t their access roads the snowmobile trails? In other words, now it’s suggested that the land owners make new roads because snowmobile clubs have taken them over for their use? Don’t get me wrong, I agree conversation should happen if any type of solution is possible...

Do you still have it?

Anyone else notice the ads plopped right down in the middle of John's graphic forecast?

No not really. I was thinking 14' X 14' since a buddy of mine has that for his shop and he's a GC. He can fit everything they have in that door with no problems. Several others in this thread were suggesting a larger door so I'm looking at that obviously. I can't see going higher than 14' but...

I know you are asking favoritos but I usually put a reducer on the floor drain located next to the boiler to make a funnel. With the newer boilers you need to also run the condensate through a neutralizer to neutralize the pH so you don't get corrosion in the drain lines. I even have the...

Vertical.

This is what I have in my garages now and will use in the new shop. https://lpcorp.com/products/exterior/siding-trim/products/panel-vertical-siding

I usually use CHI overhead doors but I'm ALWAYS open to new ideas and products. Will for sure take a look. My current overhead doors have an R value of 14-16 I think and I've seen some of the newer doors as high as R-18. That's awesome. I keep my garages around 66 degrees and the weakest link is...

Good info. I use this type of drain. https://www.ndspro.com/products/drainage/channel-and-trench-drains/dura-slope-trench-drains.html or this one https://www.zurn.com/products/building-drainage/trench-drainage/linear-trench-drain/general-purpose-drainage-interior/z874-21 I have never...

I think the drain location and layout depends on your intended use and layout you plan on having. In my situation I plan on one long aisle from end to end on the long dimension...off to one side. In this case out of 120' I may put 80' of drains?? If I pull in the trailer full of snow I want all...

Another group of excellent comments. I'm not going to reply to all of them but I like the electrical outlet ideas and good input. The size of the shop evolved due to my requirements and my butler's advice :), not because I wanted a particular size. Based on the various trailer and toys I have...

Does anyone have an architect you would recommend in the North East Wisconsin area?

:oops:

I just saved that link. That's a great idea! Much better than using the truck!

Kinda hard to explain the layout without putting blueprints here but the overhead doors are currently set to be offset to say the left side creating the aisle. The enclosed trailer will always be in this aisle towards the back end. pull in one door and out the other. the rest of the toys will be...

that's awesome. It's been a long year.
