Six years ago my wife and I bought a parcel of land we had wanted for some time. 1872 feet of the paved road. Left property line bottom of a ravine, right property line bottom of ravine and rear property line in the middle of a creek. Four years ago we started clearing for the house, by hand and a tractor. Three years ago we started building the house. My dad, wife, son and VERY few select friends did it all.
Three years ago I had a budget for a 50x80 building. Well, the house took longer and materials skyrocketed so after the smoke cleared, I had a budget for......a 40x60x14.
I had an attached garage at the old house along with barns, sheds and various vans gutted for storage. All full of equipment. Equipment at my dads, at my grandmas, at my best friends house and at work.
It will be so great to have all my children under the same roof.
Welp, the building is ordered, should be here in three to five weeks now. I will be erecting it myself along with my dad. I am just about moved from the old property and will get started clearing in a couple weeks. That should go much faster than clearing for the house as I am now deserving(as my dad says) to have a set of keys to his John Deere 310e backhoe.
One thing I been thinking about and I just cant seem to get a vision for is a floor plan. Right of the bat I am pretty sure some equipment will have to sit in the semi trailer until I can expand the building.
My question is, is there a particular method or software even for shop floor plans? One piece of equipment will not be moved again once it hits the floor, namely my lathe so I need a plan.
My “hobby” is restoration of military vehicles, equipment and ordnance. I also manufacture replica weapons for reenactors and museums.
