What do you think of these shop lights?

[Brads70]

  But I'm really Jonesing for another car ( 71 Javelin), and to do that I'll first need more room to put it. I'm planning a 25x35 detached garage so that will include a hoist, room for 3 cars plus my machining equipment, then the garage I'll actually be able to put 2 cars in. 
There is a method to my madness! 

Ive been toying with building a garage as well. The biggest bylaw will let me build is 25x30 750sq ft I want at least 1000sq ft but it's been put on hold due to I had to spend the funds set aside for it.  What type of building are you planing on.  I was looking into steel but every dealer I talked to seemed sketchy.

I think wooden framed with at least 10 ' ceilings 12' if its possible? Looking at in floor heating?
Bylaws here limit building to 16 1/2' total height.
Here is a post of a guy in NB thats building the same size shop/garage.... I like the look of it!

Nice.  For a clear bottom hoist you'll need 12 ft for sure. I Miss mine it sucks working on the ground when I have a hoist I can't set up because of height

I'm leaning towards a 4 post hoist with the pneumatic jack underneath.

Ya they have there benefits.

Can you build up?       Maybe a loft area for storage or a 2nd floor?  Attic trusses can add a lot of space too.  Plus it's cheaper to build up because there's less foundation (cement can get expensive).

Not here, maximum height allowed ( bylaw) is 16 1/2' feet

Can you ramp down, go below grade with a driveway to give you a few extra feet?

No with the snow we get I'm sure it would flood.
I was just at a local lumberyard looking at plans, they can change the angle of the roof pitch to get 12' walls.    It just costs a little more....

[Cuda Cody]

12' walls are perfect.  You'll be able to fit most lifts and that gives you the ability to stack 2 cars.

[Cudakiller70]

Oh ya snow forgot about that stuff.
You need to build a hill then build it  on there.
