Not sure which way I will be going on a permanent HVAC system yet. Mrs. Steve got a brand-new torpedo-style high-output kerosene-fired unit at an auction a couple of months ago, with the new garage in mind. Will probably use it a bit in a couple of weeks to see how it does.
I have considered a small evacuation unit that can be placed over a bike's exhaust pipe(s) and blown outside. That will evacuate the noxious fumes without creating too much negative pressure.
We have a Sola Tube installed in our front bathroom in the house. After installing it, we kept reaching in to turn the light off whenever we walked by. Yes, it's GREAT. With the windows around the garage, it shouldn't be too bad. The light tubes might interfere a bit with the insulation that is planned, will have to see. The inside is not going to be finished out until after I have had a chance to be out there for a bit to see where I want to put "stuff".
The stairs going up are 42" wide, no need for anything much wider than that. Once up there, the floor is 10' wide. Because of my height, I can only walk easily down the center, but it's still going to be a path at least 3' wide.
The stairs will be installed tomorrow (Thursday), we will see how close they install them to the plans. I will be working near home tomorrow, will have to stop by and check on it.
What you need to ask for are "attic trusses". If it were a larger area with a potential for more weight-bearing, they would have required "storage trusses", which have a thicker beam along the bottom in the central area.
Ignore that bright spot over the door. Just a bit of water in the air, the flash must have caught one of the drops.
Looks a lot more friendly with some flooring in the attic. You can see where the stairs will come up at the far end.
Shingles tomorrow, siding either tomorrow or Friday.
Brick arrives tomorrow, will go up Friday.
Windows on Friday, overhead door over the weekend.

By thicker path, I meant that you may want to make the walkway in the attic a little thicker because you never know when you just might get the need to carry
something (engine) heavier than ever planned up in there to store. BTW, I like that attic! All that I see is all that potential shelving space that will free up the work space.
