Living quarters with a shop in North Florida: what to know

A shop house puts the living space at one end of the building and a tall, wide work bay at the other. The shop is usually framed to the height the biggest thing in it needs, and the living side can run a lower eave or a second floor over part of the footprint. The wall between the two is where code questions land: fire separation, a door rated for it, and keeping exhaust and fumes out of the house.
