So there is no real shop at my new property.
The plan is to renovate the new (JH) house, then move in, then renovate the current house we are currently in and sell it, then build a large shop for me at the JH house, then add on too the JH house to get it the size we would like.
I bought more for the property and location, and the house gave me a base to work from.
As I keep comparing the new JH house to my existing house, I keep thinking I need to step up the addition to the house on the priority list.
Also, as I am gaining more and more experience with building, I realize more and more how much I don't know
So, I was thinking of building a smaller shop, like 24 X 36 prior to building my "real" shop, but cannot think of how to tie them together nicely.
Ideally I would like something around 40 X 90 with 18' eaves, just afraid if I wait on that, I may be old and dead before I get to adding on too the house
So, has anyone added on substantially to a small shop and made it look like something other then an add on?
I may also just seperate the two, and have something like a wood shop in one, and the steel work in the other, but the problem there becomes no matter what you want, it is in the other shop..............
Open to suggestions.
