building a shop

[yetibone]

Build it on the flattest piece of your property you have. That'll save the cost of grading the site before you build.

Allow for at least a 12+ foot celing so you can pick a car up on a lift with the hood and rear hatch or trunk lid open. If you can, have the roof done without conventional trusses, or a celing for more headroom.

Build in as much bench space, and storage as you can. You can't have too much storage space in your shop. Large workbench or countertop opposite of the doors is ideal. Put the compressor outside in a "doghouse" to free up some space if needed.
