A few years ago, I added a 20 x 24 cold storage addition to my 20 x 28 shop. Once I sell the old boat, 1966 Thompson deep V with a 40 HP, I will be able to begin finishing the area.
My main reason for adding this space is area for assembly. My shop is small for assembling cabinets, especially when more than one is in progress.
The electrical is done, except for a couple of 220 circuits that will have to be relocated when I relocate the cyclone and tablesaw.
I am in no hurry. I plan to get the stud walls and ceiling insulated before winter. If it is totally done by Spring, I will be happy. Building material prices are definitely in our favor right now. I heat with an outdoor wood boiler, but I dont think this will add that much load.
I am thinking about tongue and groove pine or shiplap for finishing the walls. The ceiling will definitely be drywall. The walls and ceiling of the old portion are drywall. However, the price of drywall is quite attractive. I just hate finishing drywall.
