[Soundline]

Yep, every shop starts out as super big and then becomes full and crowded making you wish for a bigger one.

No such thing when it comes to a shop.

That’s what I kept in mind when planning. Grow into the space!

Do not get a tow rig and/or trailer. You will fill it quicker then you want to

[KELMO]

^^^Don't let family members know you have space either.

You'll never regret building a bigger shop, unless we see you on an episode of Hoarders...   🙂

coming up on 5 years in this spot I think.

        No Datsuns? (or any other cars?) - that's just plain wrong.

What's the size of this?

[KELMO]

I don't know for sure but I'm gonna say L A rge.

I'm in the beginning stages of building a 30x40. But in reality I have no idea what that looks like. 

It'll be too small almost immediately guaranteed.

Lol.  When I was a kid, my parents built a small house.  I think its only about 970 sq feet.  A few years later, the store my parents ran took off.  Then they had a 5000 sq foot building built behind it.  It sets down as the landscaping is terraced, but its roof is at the same height as the house.  My mom was fond of the joke of "you might be a redneck if your garage is way bigger than your house". 

 

 

 

Your shop can never be big enough of you cant have enough land around it.  I had to pack everything in tonight before I left my shop.  That included raising my only lift up and pulling a vehicle under it as far as possible.  That meant I could put the rest of the vehicles just inside and get the roll up door shut.  It honestly would not be so bad but thiefs suck ass.
