It took five year to convince my wife to let me buy 8 acres of land. Then a couple of years to build a shop. I wanted a 40 x 60 but she said that was to big. I asked her "how large a shop do I need?' She said about the same size as our garage. Way to small, but. So every time she asks me how big the shop was going to be, I would say "about the same size as the garage". The first phase was 30' x 50', a couple of years later I add a 20' x 50' onto the back. Now I have a 50' x 50'.
I have central air conditioning, a bathroom and a small office. The ceiling is 10' 4" high, good lighting, ceiling and walls painted gloss white and plenty of storage room. Not the best but good for me. The guys come out and work on their cars or just hang out.
I wish I had built it years ago.
