we bought a house in septmeber of 2011, last summer i built a 40x80 shop in back yard. the house came with 2 acres of land. i just finished it up inside, it has a 15x40 man cave that i keep my 69 427 yenko clone nova in. the man cave has a window unit a/c with space heaters. it also has a big screen tv,couch and love seat. a work bench. also has a fridge and microwave. i have it decorated with model cars,diecast and oil cans. the shop space is 40x50 and has a 5 ton central heat and air on it with shelves. the wash bay/ paint bay is 15x40 it is on the central heat and a/c.
