Default bigger is better...

I had drawn up some plans this past winter and finally got around to construction this past week.

Still need to paint exterior, finish interior walls, run electrical, windows, access door,plumb air lines, mount aircompressor in ceiling, build work bench, tile, and move "shtuff" from old shed to new. Need to take a few days off as I managed to put a big scrap on my cornia this weekend(OUCH!!!).[:@]

Nice to have a home for the scooters!!!!

Any ideas for improvement or functionality???

Looks good, I need a larger shop, have a FULL 24x32 shop now...never large enough. Have 4 4wheelers, 2 motorcycles a motor on stand, bicycles, tools and too much junk in it.

How did you scratch your eye?

First class new shed. Only one suggestion: Leave the old "shtuff" in the Old shed; the new one will fill up quick enough with "New Shtuff"!

Open you eyelips and have someone hose it out.

Chances are there is still something in there.

Been to the Doctor/Optomologist and they did the whole deal on it. Nothing but a "pothole"(as they discribed it) on my cornia.

Looks great, need a full width ramp so you don't have to come in the middle and then manuver to the side.
Also a good alarm systemBEFORE the bike goes in, may have been eyes watching during construction, and make sure you wire the back wall, I've seen them come in that way and avoid the door triger switch.

Alarm system-I am still researching bu definetly will happen.

Any ideas for flooring. I was thinking a vinyl composition tile(1/8"x12x12) commercial grade. That way I can seal it whenever it gets scratched up and should be easy to clean after fluid changes and spilled beer. Any thoughts or ideas???

is it a plywood floor now?

If so, don't know if it will stick to wood but, how about the roll-on "rubberized-textured" Paint they put on shop floors. Friend just did his shop with it and it looks and works great for oil, anti-skip and the works.?.
