Man, that has to be a good feeling to know your shop is getting started.
Dragging that truck is cool and the burnout was also.

Go with the biggest door you can. You'll appreciate it down the road. I put my 12x20 right in the middle of the gable end. This was a decision I went back and forth on for a long time before pulling the trigger, but I'm glad I did. Makes it easier to move projects and drivers in and out without rearranging everything, and gives you plenty of room to stab a trailer in there.

Yes we have been discussing a 10x16, but due to the fact I will be driving through my current garage that has a 7' tall door. We are looking in to the price difference.

This past weekend we did a ton of work in the back yard. Ripped out 100' of a old ceder hedge, it was 6-8' wide and 8-12'high. The pile was 8' tall and 20' across. Thanks to my Jeep for all it's hard work lol.
Then we put up a 60' chain link fence across the back. The hardware store messed up and gave us 5' but we decided to use it anyways, most will be blocked by the shed and shop. We still have some cleanup to do but the prep is coming along nice.

The fence turned out good for my first time putting one up.
