I put in a partition wall, making the shop portion 32' x 30', then a "back room" for lumber storage, mechanical work, and odds and ends storage. This is the largest shop I've ever had and so far it's worked out good. It is heated with a gas furnace, and i have a window AC for the hottest days like the stretch we just went through. While I wish i had plumbing It's tolerable without it and in my case the cost of doing that far exceeded the value. I minimized the number of windows to have as much wall space as possible, and put a 9x7 OH door in the shop half, with a 12' x 8' OH door in the back room. Both rooms have entry doors, and there's a 42" door between them. In the pic of the rocked walls you can see the outlets are all at 52", and every other box is 240V, some 20amp and some 30 amp. The 120V outlets are all 2 gang with 2 duplexes. Light are all LED that plug into outlets, that allows me to put them wherever I want, and easily replace any fixtures that fail.

That looks like an ideal arrangement, Fred, and really well done.  I'm sure it's a joy to work in.  I might have sprung for a wood floor, though.  Oh, to have a shop at ground level.  

Is that a Dewalt 925 I see, or the slightly larger model?

It's a 1030 K that replaced a 925. Most of my Dewalts I redid completely with a new paint job, this one I left in it's OEM colors. It's a great saw.

PS, my feet agree with you on the wood floor thing.
