Ok, theres not going to be a wall, but at the same time there is nothing thats going to be in this WHOLE building that my son can get into, that i wouldnt let him get into, and that I didnt get into at his age. When i work on a motorcycle at my dedicated SHOP, he is right beside me, either "working" on his powerwheels ATV, his tricycle, holding tools, or putting nuts and bolts in the magnetic tray. Which to me is the best thing the boy could be doing at his age, he is learning. My son knows what tool is which, at 2. So to me, having a toolbox, a workbench and from time to time a motorcycle in the "house" is the ultimate bonding space for us. I would rather have full time access to that area, and still be able to interact with the woman in our life. Ive heated my dedicated SHOP with the same infrared heater for 10 years, with anything from racecars, motorcycles, atv's, lawnmowers, dirtbikes, jetskis, and a paintbooth all in the same shop, sometimes all at once. And no firey explosions. You would have to have a HIGHLY concentrated amount of gas to one location to get a flash.
Im not one of those fathers that sends his son to his room to watch this **** they have on childrens tv shows nowadays. Its ridiculous. My son enjoys the time he spends with a wrench in his hand just like his daddy did at his age.
NO there WONT be harsh fumes in this house
NO there WONT be anything in or around the workbench my son could harm himself with, no more harm than you would find in a house.
I like the idea of the versatility, like during thanksgiving dinner, the whole family can occupy this space, play poker, watch football, have plenty of seating, and nobody is isolated, its all open.
As far as the "codes" and all that BS, im not worried about it, I live on my own land, it will always be my land, it will always be MY building. My slab is being poured wednesday, and I have not had to have a permit, or anything to do this. Im not worried about it one bit, why are you?...Sorry you have to have your permits, sorry i dont have to pay for tests, and permits and whatever. Move to a remote location, out in Texas country and build yourself a skyscraper, nobody will give a DAMN, i promise.
I would like to thank all the HATERS for inspiring me to build something different, if everybody build the same SH!T how boring would it be, im a pioneer and i realize that, if youve never seen it, dont knock it. You will soon see it, and make your judgements then, but until then...your opinions are pointless and blind.
FYI for the ignorant: When you and your wife are both 21, your son is 2, and you have been renting in town since you were 18 years old. That might work for some but I grew up in the country and thats where I want to be. I would just like to throw some numbers out there, times are hard and we are young in age and a young family. Im making my dollar stretch.

!!! So thennnn when the house is built, I move some stuff around, add one more overhead door, convert my bedroom to an office, my sons room to a tool room, keep the bathroom for obvious reasons, and im even going to keep the kitchen, im just going to move some stuff around and have all the room i need, and it will look good, going with a satin black floor. High gloss red cabinets, even in the kitchen. all stainless appliances, just broke ground yesterday, wife is excited, shes so cool....ive got pictures of her riding my old Kawasaki KFX700...she broke the grab bar on the back twice before she got the wheelie down, but after that she was a pro! haha
