I was going to go with the post coming out for hay but am going with a barn light up there. I plan to put in an engine puller at the back of the far right side. The ceiling is 9 feet high to give me the room.

you shouldve seen my workspace when i put one truck in it , i barely can open the passenger door and i need a different kind of garagedoor that goes out and down instead of straight down to prevent it from hitting the bonnet when its backed up against the rearwall

dicer · 05-13-2012, 05:44 PM

If your into this hobby, never build anything smaller than 60x40 for a shop. Anything else is tooooooo smallllllll.

pvienneau · 05-15-2012, 06:42 AM

What if you live in Boston and are limited by the town on how big? Should I do without?

Here is my shop. Just finished. 30 x 50. I wish I made it bigger though. I have got it full of stuff already. I will be adding on this summe and putting a island out front with a couple gas pumps.

The finished height inside came out to be 13' 6".
If you have not bought your door openers yet look at the sidewinder by Liftmaster, gives you a bit clear space above the doors

_Ogre · 05-27-2012, 03:03 PM

looks good p

pvienneau · 05-28-2012, 07:30 AM

1 of My neighbors hasn't spoke to me since breaking ground. This is Medford MA and we have codes and I followed them. I dont care what others do with their yards.

No, he is mad because he just figured out that you have something in your back yard that is fun, all he has is something that needs watered and is work. Any current inside photos?
