I'm probably going to move and build a house in the next year or so. When I do, I'm going to build a standalone garage/shop. What would you guys and gals include? I know I've heard things like a balcony for parts, white floors for light, etc.
The size will probably be between 750 and 1000 square feet. I'm also not going to spend a gazillion dollars on it. Suggestions? |

standard concrete should be good for 3000lbs per sq ft. You should reineforce it with wire or rebar, 4" is standard, if you go to 6" you won't have any issues.
