[QUOTE="BrokenBackJack, post: 297796, member: 642"] First question is where do you live? Definitely go rebar, don't try to go the easy quick route. Rebar takes such little time and is worth its weight in gold. Foam closed cell insulation in the walls. Blow in up in the ceiling is fine. As stated plenty of outlets and floor drains. Plan on where you might put in meat freezers or other cabinets in case you want to plug something in. Water both hot and cold is great in the shop. Do heat and a/c all at once and your done. Did it with ours and so glad we did. We also went 12' walls with 10' high doors just in case. Have a 20'x10' door on the double stall and on the 40' single stall lane we have a 14'x10' on each end of the long stall. Comes in handy and glad we put in the 2 doors on that stall. Plenty of LED overhead lights. Also had them wire in for our cabinets and over head cabinets so we could put LED lights under the cabinets with each having separate switch for working on the bench. Don't forget to wire in for overhead fans with wall switches to each one. I know i am forgetting some things. Our builder and electrician down here kept saying this is over kill on the things we done. Since we built our builder and electrician have brought many clients over to look at our setup and most have gone this route after seeing it and how handy it is. While we were doing it they kept telling us you aren't in ND anymore and i would just tell them what keeps you warm in the winter will keep you cool in the summer. Not for everyone and just my 2 cents so good luck! [/QUOTE]
