The thread on shop size has me scratching my head, so it's prompted this thread. I'm asking for help here so consider what you say prevelent!
I'm planning on building a garage (metal building, not a pole barn) in the spring. Current plan is a 48x36x>10. I want to put a car lift in and have it house 2 cars. One for storage and one for everyday use. I'm figuring 1/3 for the shop area. 1/3 for the 2 vehicles and a 1/3 for the toys (Harley, 2 quads, garden tractor). I still have the barn for tractor and implements. I wanted 2400 sqft (40x60) but I couldn't put it were I wanted it without taking out trees, I don't want to do that. Considered a 2 story structurally sound to drive into the second story but financially I can't justify the added cost (one story has to be 10ft for the lift with no lower trusses.
I ain't a carpenter so any ideas are welcome!!!
I'd like to put up 4 courses of block (cinder) and set a 48x36x8 metal building on it. I'm in the early stages so any advice is welcome!!!
