Stage one will be 12 feet long, 40 inches high, 27-33 inches deep depending on what I choose for a top. If I go with butcher block I'm constrained by what's available - I'm not spending 1-2k on a custom sized countertop-style butcher block. The wheels are coming off the new tool cabinet and it'll be fitted under the bench.

Stage two will be an angled L shape aimed towards the middle of the garage. Thinking 2-3 feet in length, and hinged so I can drop it and fit two cars into the garage if need be.

I cant tell you how well the greatstuff expanding foam (gaps and crack, ha-ha) works. I used it on the seams and then used a long razor blade to cut flush once it cured.

Works great around outlets and what not too.

Grocery store didnt have any good looking Ribeye steaks so I picked up a nice looking porterhouse. Cornbread and grilled mushrooms to accompany the steak so it doesnt get lonely in my belly.

maybe make your own 2x4 butcher block style top. Wouldnt cost a whole lot and you and I both could do an irish river dance on top, at the same time, and it wouldnt break.

You sure you didn't grab the wrong blueprints and you're not building an ark?

I am watching Futurama while working on spreadsheets... ark comment reminded me of this:
The only video on youtube of it and it was taken on a old CRT tv with a potato for a camera...

Be carefully on which can of Greatstuff you get. The regular or the triple expanding. The triple expanding will ruin things if you're not carefully.

You don't want to know.
