One thing that I haven't seen here; I know you do not worry about permits, but....
Last week a fellow blew his shop up and did a pretty good job on himself, he was working on a car in his shop with a wood stove. and obviously; gas vapors got to the warm toasty stove with open flame and bang. Gasoline fumes rise up to 18" according to the NEC, so think about what type of work you do and where your heat will be located. My furnace and ducting hangs as high as possible.
Good safety advice Jumbo, thanks!
