Are you going to put a lift in it? With those tall ceilings you could put a nice one in. What was your thoughts on putting the doors to the far left? Just gathering info for one I hope to build one day!

I look at your pics and the first thing I see is your site prep. Like you I'm sure, I had to haul in countless semi loads of fill to level my site. Nice looking shop, but you'll probably find like I did that it's always too small. Stu

Oh man is this statement true! I had to haul in 20 tri-axle loads of chert to level my shop site and I built a 30 by 40 and now I wished it was a 100 by 100! It is so crammed full that I barely have room to cuss a cat!

You make me sick. I had to haul fill for my 40 x 64 with probably 5' of elevation drop across the width, plus driveway. Then concrete. I did like you with doors on each end, and am glad I did. Stu
