Building a new shop

[chris vickery]

Looks great Jordan
Do yourself a favour- let the concrete cure and then seal it. You will thank me later lol.
I applied an epoxy coating to mine including anti slip additive. It looks great and cleans up nicely. No oil stains and very durable. Mines been done for over 8 years and going strong.
As tempting as it is, hold out from filling your shop with junk, thinking you will work around it to finish the interior.
My shop is fully insulated with R24 wall, and covered with steel liner siding. Once again, easy to clean, bright and now worries about smashing holes in drywall, upkeep or fire.
Lights, put plenty in. Same goes for power receptacles.
Include service for 220v items like your welder and air compressor.
Run service air throughout the shop, restractable hose reel and extension cords off the ceilings. Anyway to keep stuff off the floor.
Mine is a 30 x 40 and while I thought it was large enough, it isn’t. You’ll find out.
Keep it up, you’ll get there, good luck.
