John, Thanks for adding to your message.    How thick did you make the 
concrete floor in the shop area?

Fw: [Farmall] Machine Shed and Shop






Larry, A couple other things I should have mentioned.  I have 12 ft wide x 
8
ft high sliding doors. Overhead  doors will inhibit access to the area 
above
them when they are open.  In the shop area I have a 6 x 16, 20' lam beam
with a hoist in the shop attic space extending from the door to the rear
wall for lifting engines , heavy wheels etc.  The shop has a conc. floor,
machine shed is dirt - I think someday I'll put some kind of gravel or
crushed rock in.  220 elec for a welder, liberal fluorescent lites.  John
