Re: shop with living space

I would consider putting it on TOP of it as opposed to one end. It costs a whole lot less to go up versus what it does to add on to the end.

I have several friends who have done this. They purchased their ideal lot, built a garage with apartment upstairs and then later built their house and converted the upstairs apartment to a game room / man cave.

Nothing like have somewhere to go with heat/air, running water and cable if the little lady gets sideways with ya ... and all your tools are within walking distance is just an added bonus.

Shane please don't use the expression man cave! It excites Andy and with the pictures he posts we don't want that!

Back to the subject a huge shop with a living space above was my dream growing up, hell I am still single I still might do it Can't be worse than having an atv in my living room can it?
