I am envious as well. My new garage/shop pales in comparison to the ones just mentioned.

I am still finishing my 28x32 GMC garage. That was the maximum I could do on my 1 1/2 acre lot due to terrain, easements and zoning. I still had to get a zoning variance to be able to build it.

It is stick build, since the neighbors or city would not allow a pole barn. I built it with 10' side walls, scissor trusses that provide a 12 foot ceiling over the coach. 10' x 10' insulated garage door with opener, 3 large double hung windows and 2 skylights plus one "man Door". I installed 10" fiberglass insulation in the ceiling and 4" in the walls behind fire code drywall.

It has radiant tubing in the floor that is currently not hooked up to a heat source. I do have a 80,000 BTU forced air furnace hung from the ceiling. I have a wall air conditioner/heat pump that so far does the trick in the summer. 100 amp service with many 120 and 240 volt outlets as well as 30 and 50 amp for the coach. Also, I installed plumbing for water and sewer with a dump station inside and outside. I have 2 2" conduits that run from the shop to the attic in my house for the Ethernet(4 POE security cameras, computers, streaming TV and WIFI access point}and coax for cable/antenna TV. I hung 14 4FT LED Utility Shop Light from the ceiling. Those are really bright.

This past winter I did not winterize the coach for the first time in 22 years. That was a nice plus. I keep the heat set to 42F when I am not out there working. When I want to work, I use my PC or iPhone to set the temp to 65 via Nest thermostat. In the winter it only takes 20 minutes or so before it becomes comfortable enough to work with short sleeves.

Its so nice to be working on a GMC project and not have to worry about the weather (will it or won't it rain) and play beat the clock putting my tools away if it does start to rain.
