Randy, that's awesome. You have parking for two coaches--I didn't want to
make that a possibility so I used shorter doors for the rest of it.
I'm not doing the excavation--I just don't have time. I will put down the
radiant heat Pex, and I will do the electrical work. I'm not closing the
door to a lift, but I also see it as reducing flexibility.
I did not mention before--the design uses attic-box roof trusses that will
provide an 8-foot ceiling room that is 16x60 feet. Eventually, I'll enclose
that a bit more deliberately and air-condition it. Yes, stairs...but better
that than wasting that space. I'll probably rig up a cargo lift using a
power winch.
14-foot ceiling in the main space.
