After spending a fair bit of time on my sizeable garden shed and turning it into a workshop I've decided I need more space. And my only option is to either buy a larger shed and convert it again or build a bigger shed/outhouse type structure and turn that into a workshop.
First of all, What kind of things would people be concerned about when building such a structure? If I were to make a strong, thick, timber frame, then panel the outside like a garden shed.. Would I be looking to seal every gap and join with sealant to keep it well insulated etc? What kind of flooring would people reccomend? and what type of wall insulation would be desirable?
I'm going to be using it for making instruments and other small projects. eventually looking to house a bandsaw, pillar drill, large bench and some form of extractor.. aside from that it'll only be storage for hand tools!
I'm looking to board the inside out and paint it white/install electrics etc and put a sturdy door/window into it.
Any help and ideas would be great! cheers
