Can't see much in my garage. Let's put it this way- if you poured a gallon of water in there, it would be 10 minutes before the floor got wet! My observation about out buildings is this: Figure out the biggest building you could ever need, build it 3 times bigger, and it will be almost big enough. Most garages are too small, too low, and the doors aren't big enough. Make sure your floor is pitched towards the opening so liquids run out. Plan out your electrical runs- you can never have too many outlets. Same goes for compressed air. Put in enough lights to get a tan- you won't regret it.
