I recently built my house and 40' X 60' shop on 10 acres in Valley, Neb., just west of Omaha. The shop is constructed with 2"x6"x12' and is fully insulated with pegboard interior walls all around.

There is an 18' wide x 10' high overhead door on each of the 40' sides with lumber storage racks above each. I also have an 8' wide x 7' high overhead door that opens to a 3' drop. This makes the truck bed level with the floor for loading equipment.

I have over 30' of work bench with a built in radial arm saw and many storage drawers built in below. The lighting is 11 high pressure sodium fixtures that were taken out of a factory, switched in 5 zones. Above the main bench is 3 - 8' cold weather fluorescents.

I have high/low occilating fans on the ceiling in three of the four corners with switch controls by my 200 amp, 240 volt power panel. In the center of the ceiling, I have a whole house fan for venting and a 20 amp GFCI electrical reel.

Running down the center of the shop ceiling is a 38' monorail hoist beam bolted through 17 of the trusses with two trolleys. In one corner I have all my metal working tools. Another corner is my plywood storage racks. I have 12' of warehouse racks sitting about 10' from the wall with built in storage shelves on the wall behind it.

I have many wooden cheese boxes, (from my Grandfather), that I store hardware in, and I have the full line of Shopsmith equipment with all the bits and accessories.

In the winter, I have a free standing wood burner that I burn waste oil and wood scraps for heat. Last, but not least, for when the work is done, (or occasional parties), I have a keggerator.
