Re: Building a garage - any suggestions?

Just a couple of suggestions:

1) If you will ever install a lift, plan its position now. Then make the concrete 6" at the post locations.

2) When you plumb your air lines, do it like the picture below. Make sure the vertical pipes come from the top of the horizontal pipes, and that the horizontal pipes slant downward to the vertical drain pipes.

I recommend plumbing the air system with copper. Copper conducts the heat out of the supplied air, cooling it and causing the moisture to leave it. Never use PVC, even if you find stuff that can withstand your max burst pressure. It keeps the heat and moisture in the air.

Good Luck!
