Found out last week that my day job is closing the doors in ~6-9 months. Been here 7 years, but is not a suprise.
Good news is for the past 5 years I have build a great collection of tools, and done a lot of my own designs products for a select car group. This closing is going to be my chance to make a dream come true and see what I can do on my own, really expand what I have already done.
So the plan right now is to sell my house, take that money along with monies being paid by company shutting down and buy some land/build pole barn.
Goal being to have something build for around 50-60k. I am assuming land will be ~$10k for what I want leaving me ~40k or so for the building.
Is my goal realistic #1. I would like to have a portion of it living space but I can let that come in time if needed due to budget.
Right now I am thinking a 40 x 60 with 20ft dedicated to living space in the future. I see some good things on the Miracle truss construction. A bit more spendy, but maybe worth it.
So any pitfalls, suggestions, advice (good or bad), jokes, insight, etc that you have would be great.
I know from the past 5 years and watching other companies and people start out overhead is the killer. This would let me walk in with only electric type bills, assuming building can be built paid for or darn near close to that.
