We are buying a home in the country. It's going to need work, and I'm going to be doing a lot of it including a bunch of wood work. There's a garage onsite that I think is probably 100-150' from the house. The garage is very "rustic," but it does have power (small subpanel, 4 breakers right now, don't remember how many circuits total) and it's on a slab.

The garage is basically a 20x23' slab with a frame with a corrugated metal roof, cheap knotty pine boards for walls a door (south) and a big manual garage door (east). The eaves are completely open, and the walls show light through the cracks and knots.

Is there anything that you think would be a must-do or must-have to improve the structure for it to be a workshop (not including the addition of workbench, tools, etc...). I'm not too worried about cold. We don't usually get that cold here.

I'm wondering about adding some sort of opening (door or window) to one or both of the remaining sides for ventilation through the place. Obviously, there will be better/more lighting and probably more outlets.
