how big of a shop?

we're doing a 60x80 here (our farm shop was built in the 70s, it's a tight fit with just 2 tractors parked in there and the combine's too tall to fit under the door)

i'm looking forward to having a place to park my truck when the snow falls

Just for the sentimental value, never. Only thing that would force me to get rid of it would be if it got demolished beyond any chance of repair. At the rate I'm going, that would only happen on the track.....


Although, Dodgey or Rudolf as some of you have dubbed her, will be laid to sleep before fall this year. She has a lot of rest to catch up on.
