 Inside the shop:

The front “half” (50×55′) is separated by an insulated wall with 2 swing open doors, each one 6′ wide and 16′ tall. This area has a concrete floor, insulated walls and ceilings, and fluorescent lighting. It also has an upper mezzanine in a portion of it.

Home Shop - Front area

The back “half” is not insulated, and only has some sodium high-bay lights. It has pallet racking on the back wall, and is mainly used for storage and vehicle parking.
