Wanting to build a small garage/shop. Wife wants to put a bathroom with shower in it and finish off maybe the end of it across the back with the bath in it. Anyone done something like this? Any good plans out there?

I agree about the insulation. The addition has it and boy does it make a difference both winter and summer.cfpinz":ermbvbv3 said:I built my own shop about 3 years ago. Best advice I can give is to use the plyfoil insulation on the walls and roof at a minimum, not so much for winter heat but it keeps the shop cool in the summer. And use attic trusses, that's the one thing I didn't do and regret not doing. Helped a friend build his shop not long after and couldn't believe the amount of storage space it added.

Put in a good sized fan/light/heater combo and finish the room a little nicer than you think you need, making it a nice evironment to shower in, otherwise after a couple of years shop bathrooms don't get used as much as you'd expect.tom4018":27sac4co said:We have drawn something up but wanted other ideas.
