Arcinio,

For the air compressor, you can use schedule 40 pvc piping to run lines down the two outside walls with connectors in a few spots for easy hose hook up. The benefit is that the pvc pipe, say 2'' diameter, effectively becomes a large air storage tank increasing the overall air capacity instead of just only the capacity provided by the tank that comes with the unit. This can be very helpfull if you are running a grinding wheel or sander that tend to consume the air supply rather quickly and in the end the rpm's fall off pretty fast. In this case the extra storage in the pvc pipes provides a continuous air supply. The downside is that in the beginning it takes the compressor a little longer to build the pressure through out the pipe network. You could put in a shut off valve in a few places to isolate the added pipe storage when not needed.

Looks great .....

Oh yeah, maybe an extra bed if you are in the "dog house"

Mark

And as mentioned before, absolutely a Urinal! An empty upside-down plastic gallon milk jug with the bottom cut out, connected to a 1/2 inch rubber hose which is connected with a dishwasher-disposal adapter. Be sure the hose going out of the garage is long enough to reach the neighbor's property who said your Garage Mahal looks like a barn!
PS: Pictures, plans and parts readily available from Ralph's Rapid Urinal Installation Company.

Mr Red Snake 351,
I already told Arcy it does NOT look like a Barn at all.
I would have taken that "Barn" crack as a compliment!
I'll bet his neighbor drives a RED Yugo!

Lowell, you know how it is, when one person starts to pee, everybody has to pee. You might have 3 or 4 guys using the thing at that same time and that way it won't overflow!

Great shop...you are well on your way to a great hide away!
I used FRP (fiberglass resinous paneling) on the bottom 4' of my shop...it is bright white, really durable and oil and grease wipe right off...I just started with some 1/2" OSB first and then the paneling...it is available at LOWES and HOME DEPOT. They use it a lot in fast food restrooms, because it is practically indestructable. Also, you might find it better to have those wall outlets on a couple different circuits so you aren't overloading one breaker with mutiple equipment running. Just a thought that worked well for me.

Ralphy can your product accomodate a #2? Just wondering, also do you have a model available that could be installed in a basemant?
Send ma a personal email 'cause I may be interested. You might want to change the 1/2" tube to a 3 or 4" tube with a twist on cap,,,,, to keep the odor down,,,,, just a thought!!!

Arcie I think Ralph is on to something there.

P.S. your garage is way cool, can't waite to see it.

I am planning to come check out your new digs. I'll see you this Saturday.

Good looking manspace, , I enjoy seeing what others are doing as these places seem to evolve over time and are always a work in progress you may get some idears at this site where you'll find among some others my Mancave in its early stages,
http://manspacesite.com/default.asp?contentID=525
Sam has written a neat book about the evolution of Man Spaces
also you might consider a projector or big screen TV to watch track videos or the ball game with the buddies, and for heat an infrared tube heater works great /AC is good to knock down any hunidity too.
There may be some more pix in my gallery, and this winter I'm working on a full kitchen there, got to keep up with my gurly figure.
Enjoy
Kumpie
