To original poster - I have 40 feet between my doors and another building. This works for me because I have 20 foot wide doors and the buildings are slightly offset so two of my four bays are ahead of the other building.

That's cheating...you've got independent wheel brakes and a swiveling tail wheel...

The other nice thing about adding on is that you can get the storage space you want right away with relatively cheap pole barn type construction, then take your time renovating the existing building as time/money allows.

Sounds like you really want more space than existing building has. I was in very similar situation, property came with 32 x 36 and I added 36 x 48 on the end. Insulated/finished the original smaller portion for shop space and used the new part for unheated storage. The nice thing about this...

I needed a new shop fridge last year so bought a Hissense from Lowes. Brought it home in a trailer and upon unwrapping it found exactly the same damage on yours. Plugged it in just to see if it would work and it did. Still, took it back for return, but this time, made them unwrap the...

I built this. For years had them all piled up in the corner, drove me nuts.....

It's a little hard for me to say because I don't blast all that much, a project every few months or so. Taking a wild guess, maybe 6 or 8 hours of blasting time.

I use clear acetate purchased by the roll from a craft store. I stick the edges down with duct tape.

Anybody remember the '70's and '80's, when they were BEGGING people to go "all-electric"?
