I am building a shop. I would love any advice.
We bought the lot next to our house. There is enough room to build a 50'x50' shop.
I want build a BMX/pump track around the periphery. We went to Moab and they have a small pump track Everyday the kids wanted to go to the small pump track there. So, I made a couple small jumps and features the kids can ride on. When we go out an play all the neighborhood kids come over and play. So, with the spare lot I want to go make a pump track and some small trials features. Any feature or pump track advice would be appreciated. Ideas for the shop: Drain in the middle with a sloped concrete floor. Water with the potential for a high pressure sprayer. Shop heater. Swamp cooler. Some afternoons, I putter around in the garage and work on projects. I leave the garage open, so I can watch kids. My brother in law told me they have preformed concrete trusses. The concrete trusses would make a walk out basement possible. Put a mother in law cottage in the basement. Put an air hockey table in the common room of the basement.

Since this will be a multi-use building including living quarters I would consider central heat air that might be dual-zone. I've visited Pueblo several times. On one Easter vacation we were playing basketball on the driveway in shorts and no shirts on Monday and shoveling snow on Tuesday.

I have used Morton Building Systems for clients that wanted shops, bars, equestrian facilities, etc. on their properties and it was a very efficient process, as the designs are optimized for a prefab building system. I am sure that there are similar firms in your area as well.

50x50 is sorta big for the whole shop....plus, you may want to 'lock' up stuff when you're not there. How about a 20X20 shop area and then large covered patio to provide shade....maybe with one of those self-serve maintenance stations?
the lawyers may reccomend liability insurance...but that goes against the spirit of why you're doing this, eh? thats my $.02....sound like a great project!
