Has a full bath, and kitchen.

The engineer part of me says awesome. The guy that's lived in the spot above the garage part of me says sacrifice a little space for interior stairs.

Laughing I didn't want the stairs to take up any space in the shop. I really, really tried to figure out how to take up a minimal amount of space, but no matter what configuration I came up with, it made a lot of space unuseable quickly.

Well done on the building works.

I am almost finished my new room in which I will be assembling cars and engines (seperate to the workshop) so I know how exciting it is!!

I figured that if I have nice cars and engines etc, I need somewhere nice to keep them. Engines in the house (I have 2 engines in 1 of the bed rooms at the moment) is not the answer.......

WOW, that is sweet! ...and a lift coming too. So jealous...but happy for you! Cool

I so wish I had room to add on a shop to work in...my wife is getting tired of her car getting kicked out of the garage every time a new task/project comes up, but oh well! Wink

Looks good, but how big is it? The plan drawing doesn't list a size. Wink
Hopefully it'll be big enough for a while, until you fill it full of stuff (my problem with my 24 by 24 shop/garage). Shocked Thank god I've got a 2 story shed, and a couple of smaller ones in the back yard. Very Happy

I am thinking the same thing. one day I might have to extend my shed and separate that area into a clean/show room.

My shed is always getting dusty when I work on stuff.

Lack of space (& $$$) is my primary hindrance in the hobby.

I'd marry a troll if she came with that kind of space. Rolling Eyes
