Yeah, I'll take the 5 or 6K and put it into the bathroom I'll also do myself. =)
I'm contemplating a big project. I currently have a few largish sheds and a good sized out building garage. I keep my tractor, lawn equipment, fire wood, and so forth in these buildings. Some are getting pretty shoddy, and they don't look great as they're all different eras and styles and so forth.
I think I'm going to remedy this by building a single out building that is 40 x 80 feet footprint, 16 foot ceiling. Shallow form foundation, double thick wall, wood stove heat, air conditioned. There would be a car/bike shop area that could also function as a paint shop (I dabble), all my woodworking tools would be in a big area, and a big area for tractor, lawn tractor, ATV, etc. It would be about 300 yards from the house, decent roadway connecting it to the main drive. I have a plan to get this finished inside of one year, then excavate the other buildings, and make a level area that will be garden in summer, hockey rink in winter.
My wife thinks it's a terrible idea to put all these things in one building. She wants one building for the vehicles, one for the tools and shit. What do you guys think? One building of glory, or two buildings of lesser glory? (I know it's hard to see my perspective...)
