Here is the shop at the house I've been renting. I've lived here over 5 years. It has been a great shop, but if I build one I'd really like to have one that is larger

Around here there are a ton of homes with steel shops like what I want. It's a common thing here. There are new homes across the street from us now that I know are well over $300k range and they built metal shops on thier properties too. It's not considered trashy or cheap to have a simple...

We are in Weatherford Tx. We are going to make an offer on a house today. It's on 1 acre. The house is built at the front of the property, so that leaves me the entire back of the land to build on. It looks perfect for a shop. The land is mostly flat, so should be very easy to build the...

That 40x64 is my dream shop. That's exactly what I would love to have. This may sound retarded, but you have the shop put up and then poured the concrete? I thought you needed the pad poured and then shop built on top of it?? I have so much to learn I have 10x10 door on the shop I rent...

After taking some rough measurements, I def want 10x10 doors. With my truck and the factory towing mirrors it feels snug driving into the shop I'm in. So, maybe a shop with 3 10x10 doors, that means min 12' height right? So, the height can be 12-14' depending on later decisions and cost dif...

Rough interior measurements of the shop I'm in now is 30'x40'. Has a 10'x10' main door. This shop has the door on the end of the building, where as I'd like to have a building with doors along the side of the building. My truck roughly measures out at close to 22' in length from what I can...

Found this pic on a building site. It's pretty much what I want, but maybe add more length at the end for the tool and motorcycle area. I would put the additional space at the RH end of my building with the walk in door at that end.

I'll work on getting some measurements of the shop I'm in now to get some ideas for size. I'll measure my truck and see how long that is. It would be nice to have one bay in the shop with a lift capable of lifting my Duramax for maint.

Thanks. It's been a few years in the making. Here is most recent. Chevy 305, TH350, both rebuilt by me. I'll need to measure the length of my truck I drive now cause it's a long sucker. Then I'll know a better depth of shop to shoot for.

The house I'm renting has a shop out back. I'm so spoiled to have had a shop the last few years. It's not a huge shop, but it's been great. Only has one large door and 2 walk in doors. They built 2 horse stalls and a tack room under the same roof and took up some of the shop space. I never...

When we do push forward with a shop after buying a home, it will take me a while. We are hoping to get the house soon enough for the $8k 1st time buyer money. That money will have to build fencing at the house for the dogs and if anything is left over it will go towards shop foundation. I may...

Sweet building. I'm thinking something more simplified. I doubt I'll ever own an RV, so I'll likely keep all doors the same. I'm 32 and doubt I'll own the same home when it's RV time in my life :) From the looks of it, 56' is plenty of length for 3 doors plus additional room at one end for...

My buddy told me about this site. He has a 40x60 shop with 10' height. He now has a lift and can't lift his truck high enough. We will be out of city limits, so that means no restrictions right? I have never owned a home, so I know nothing! Please, keep the info flowing. Is 20' deep a...

We are shopping for a house and my main concern is finding a place with plenty of property to build on. We have found 2 places that match our price and have land to use. I guess I need to figure out what my dream shop is, and what it will cost. I know it will be hard for me to afford to build...
