The first is the “full size” and the second is the “efficiency”, the second also has a central fireplace. I am not an architect nore have I ever taken a formal architectural design course outside of my 6th grade shop class. I’m aware that it’s probably really fucking stupid but I want to know if anyone thinks this is doable. I’ve developed a bit of a heat sensitivity and I live in one of the hottest parts of Texas. I also love to work on my project car, 74 nova. The shop I currently work in doesn’t have air conditioning and I am working to get a better paying job to potentially have a place to work on it comfortably one day. Basically an air conditioned shop I could live in was the idea.

Thought I'd share my grandfather's workshop, I made a little tour video if anyone is interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnLKOe7uP1I

With normal amount of household DIY thrown in for good measure.

Hi so I have several questions. Im moving soon and im clearing out my workshop. It seems like a good time to upgrade the space with better walls and flooring. Im planning on doing diy pallet panel walls, but im debating if i should bother with insulation before doing that. I have a very limited budget so was wondering what the cheapest option would be. Secondly i have no idea what i should for the floors. A few things im keeping in mind. 1 I'm planning on putting everything i own on wheels so things need to roll easier, 2 again limited budget, 3 im very abusive to the floors as is. I do wood working but like 30 other hobbies in here so anything can end up the floors, 4 im trying to do videos in here and generally want a nice rustic looking esthetic with the pallet walls so id like it to look good with that if possible. Dense rubber matt flooring seems to be a front rubber but any advice or discussion is welcome. Thanks!

I make props for Larp, cosplay, and Nerf as well as your standard DIY home projects. Just moved from a rental where I was cramped in the basement to my dream home with a 1200 sq foot garage.
