That's the name my wife gave it when it was completed, and she's dead-on the money! This was built on the space my house used to be..."used to" because, in 2003, we got wiped out by an F-4 tornado! This was built on the slab foundation of our old house (our new house is right next to it!). It has 110/220VAC, with four 220 outlets and eight 110 outlets. I have a full bath inside, a 30A RV electrical plug-in, lots of shelves, a porch/carport in front, three insulated rolling doors (one electric) and a pair of walk-ins, security, motion, and more. I do intend to add more lighting in and out eventually, plus a two-post rack, a 50-gallon compressor with eight air outlets,and other goodies.:bounce:

It's 38' x 68', with a 12' x 24' front overhang that I use for a patio, carport, and just hanging out in the sun.

I have crammed a 28' fifth-wheel travel trailer, two tractors, two Metropolitan coupes, my '66 Dodge, two BMW 325i ragtops, and my parts, all inside at one time. With exception of the Dodge, all of that stuff is gone now, but I've replaced that with cooler stuff!!

The doors are 12' x 12' and 12' x 10' - there is another at the rear of the shop. The eaves are 14' high, and i've got a 200A box in there.

It's pretty cluttered right now. Spring cleaning is coming up in a couple of weeks, so maybe then I'll get a couple of pics of the inside up.

That sux.

By the way, I'm pretty sure the F-4 was the Phantom, not the Tornado.

Here's the F-4:

Everybody's a smartass!!!:bounce:

Here is the outside of the bathroom (equipped with shower, stool, sink, 40-gallon water heater). It's got my display of signs and plates and stuff.

I've got tags from all over. What you see on the right are Saudi Arabia, Panama, Prince Edward Island CDN, Queensland AU, US Forces Azores, US Forces SHAPE Belgium, Belgium civilian, and a Germany oval. On the left side are several US states.
