Pics of your shops/garages/specs

I don't even have my shop wired yet and have already figured out a 20x24 is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY to small lol. Of course, given my small piece of land, I was limited as to how big I could build. I was gonna wire it the week I had off from work around xmas, but blew all that money on a couple AR15's. A family owned electrician business friend came over this past weekend and looked it over and I'll be ordering all the stuff from him within the next week or two…then I may start looking at air compressors too.

Just finished mine this year. Grew out of my 25x25 carport style after 10 years. The building itself is 28x48, 12'6" ceiling ,and both shed roofs cover 16x27. I also relocated the carport building adjacent to the new structure.

Her is the interior of the old building. Now used for toy/buggy storage and full stick tubing and sheet metal.

... then I built this for the boys using the existing 25x25 slab from old footprint, plus an area for me and the wife to enjoy the festivities.

Added few more yards to give a compete half court.

Our spectator area

With swing set for the youngest. .

This structure was built around a 24x8 cargo box , which I keep my yard equipment in. ..

View from the deck of the house. You can just see the ridge cap of my new shop between the shed and swing set.

Thanks fellas, two long years now finally time to build some rigs again. Soon to add two more sheds, another 16x27 to right of RV, and a 12x24 to right of old white metal building. Also a lift, in first bay next to man door and a chassis table in center work area, (on casters and having forklift pockets so can relocate to shed if needed).

Mine is a 30x 42. two 10x 10 doors and one 12 x 12 with a 16' eve in the center. It sucks having such a small workspace, but it does force me to have a faster turn around on building stuff for people since I have no room for anything. Hopefully next year I will build a 50 x 100 so I can have a dedicated room for a mill and my lathe

Thanks Jd. The toy belongs to a friend of mine, just finishing up a few minor details. Tube work and bed taper/bob was done by RIDES in Conover NC. Definitely a sweet ride, stock v6, trans, atlas, hp60, 14b, 40 tsl; kicker is power windows, locks, and A/C! Puts my buggy to shame for comfort, hot or cold. ..

Creature comforts are wayyy underrated by many! I miss my warm/cool/dry enclosed cab! I used to have basically the "weenie" version of that red taco lol. The yota I have now is basically a buggy. I don't ride much during the summer months now. Too flipping hot/dusty molaugh

3rz 4cyl, D44 front/stock rear, stock t-case which sucked ass, etc. But was quite capable to still be moderately streetable. Anyway, that red one is prolly one of my favorite Taco's I've seen to date! Thing is CLEAN!

That's a beaut! I'm assuming 12' at the eaves, cause the pitch looks way up there?
This is about the size I wanna start with. You doing this yourself?
Dang I gotta find me an acre in Shelby county...
