Thanks for your help Dave!
FMX,
Yeah the place is really cool! It is a car guys dream come true for sure!
It's been a lot of years and hard work to get to this place. Too bad I'm not about 30 years younger!
I can't begin tell you some of the horrid conditions I've endured to work on cars so this place is gonna seem like Heaven.
FYI: The HGTV "shoot" is scheduled for Spring so the show may not be aired until next Fall. The program is called "Building Character". Some of the homes featured on there are pretty awesome.
Today my brother-in-law and I will be laying tile in one of the rooms down in the shop. Walls are getting painted by my father-in-law.
PS...still no wine cellar...its a "Parts Room"!

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Just a suggestion
Jerilynn,
Since you are in the planning stages and I'm not sure how cold it gets in your area...may I suggest heat tubes in the floor before you pour the concrete slab.
My father in law did this and heats it with a 40 gallon water heater. it sure is nice working when the floor is warm and toasty
Caution: Take pictures of the location of the tubes and plan ahead
for things that might be mounted to the floor IE: car lift, Compressor, work benches. You do NOT want to drill holes in the concrete / tubes.
One more suggestion...Lots of electrical outlets!
Oh and go taller than the standard 8' if possible lift is in the future.
Tom

A heated floor would be sweet as hell in a shop. Nice black and whtie checkered tile with heat. I would sleep in there then.www.streamlineautocare.com

I tried rubber isolators between the frame and pump, but it made little difference. I don't mind spinning the motor over to refill the carb(s), it allows time to build oil pressure, jmho..
