X2 on take, my shop has a slick finish not broomed and it looks good but can be slick when wet.

My concrete has not been poured. Just dirt pad built up. I will have two bays. Do I need two floor drains or would one in the middle work? I've also been told to add a shower in the bathroom. Is the extra expense worth it? If you have one do you ever use it?

One floor drain should be fine, I dont see the need for the shower but thats just me, wasted place and money.

I would prolly opt fer a sink/indoors fesh cleanin station with disposal vs a shower unless you're gonna be quiet a ways from your house.

You could even build your own fesh cleanin station. Build you a cabinet and put a 3/4 treated plywood on top with a piece of 1/4 hardy board and then tile over it. Should be able to do the top fer around $150. I jus got thru tiling the top of a set of cabinets at my house. Nuthin to it.

The sink with disposal aka fish cleaning station is a must! I got a sink and old counter top from a remodel job that someone did. Been saving em for about two years til the funds were saved up.

My shop has a full bathroom with a shower. I've never used the shower except to bath my dogs.
