My 1st shop was a 8'x14' room framed inside my two-car garage. It was used for over a dozen years. When we built our current house five years ago, we included a 16'x35' attached shop. Since then, my hobbies have outgrown the shop and my wife's have outgrown the house, so our home office and exercise equipment are moving to the attached shop and the new shop is detatched, 44'x30'. Life is good!
