I have a feeling that hanging out with this crew will be bad on my bank account. Attached is what I had sketched up. It has a bump out in the front to match up with my house facade. After I get some guidance on septic field distance from the county, I'll basically stretch out the dimensions accordingly. The long side would be 24' and the short side 22', but based on what I'm reading here I should try to get that to 26' on the long side with the steps to the loft and 24' on the short side. Our existing garage is 22' deep which works ok since it is 32' wide and my workbench is on the side, so I thought 22' would work.
I'll have to see how much cost is involved in heated floors, but I do like the mini-split idea to keep it climate controlled in all seasons. My electrician is coming out Tuesday to take a look, so I'll ask what kind of service I need to be able to run a mini-split. The units themselves aren't that expensive and easy to setup. I just don't want to have to run another main or anything over the top like that... After all, this was just intended to hold a few more toys, and you guys already have me expanding to a separate home and small business space!
