So... Here's my situation. I'm outgrowing my garage (20 x 20) and need a bigger space. I want to keep things here at my house since this is my "hobby" and am looking at building a shop. Under normal conditions this would be an easy fix. Pour a slab and put up a 20x40 or 30x50 workshop. However, I cannot get concrete trucks back to my house due to one of the worst private driveway paving jobs ever done. My driveway is 1/2 mile long and the minute I put a concrete truck on it, it's going to bust up the pavement and I'm going to end up costing me $100K to rebuild the driveway just because I wanted a workshop. I've also checked and no one within 50 miles has the small trucks (4 yards). Even a half loaded full size truck is going to kill the driveway.
I'm thinking of doing it on a super well build floor system set on piers. I was thinking 2x10's on 12" centers and double layered plywood.
Anyone done anything like this? What do you all see the problems I might run into with the mill sitting on a wood floor? I can pre-plan the mills location and build that up even more...just not sure on how to keep it level if it's wood vs concrete.
Would love to see any photos of workshops that anyone's built.
Thanks for any feedback.
