<p>Thanks for the power tips. I certainly now will be looking to have seperate circuits for the workshop and train room. I handn't thought of seperating them. Safety switches (overload circuits) are mandatory here so these protect you and your equipment. One thing I'll also do with my power is ensure I have a locked away circuit board. I'm real conscious of the kids deciding they need to play with the power tools when I'm not there. The lighting circuit will not be locked away.</p><p>The floor is most likely going to be a concrete slab. We have a lot of subsurface rock here so stump footings are often impractical. I also need to keep the overall height of the building down as it will sit against a neighbours fence. I'll have to put a floor on top of this. Would love a timber floor and it has good insulation and noise reduction qualities.</p><p>I will also give some careful consideration to expansion possibilities. I think the structure is big enough but I will have a few metres either end that I could lengthen the building if the need arises. I'll now change my roof design to be a gable instead of hip so that if I lengthen the building, the roof will be easier to alter.</p><p>Any issues people can think of with having windows in the room? </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
