Thanks for the happy b-day wishes guys.

Taking it all to heart, and putting a pencil to it. If I do a truss roof, it will be 12 foot ceiling minimum.

I still only plan on one lift, regardless of how big I build. Considering the clear span with trusses.

Metal building would probably be the cheapest, but not allowed in this location.

Trying to think of the future as much as possible. As you can tell from my profile, if you looked, I turned 64 today. I don't plan to fully retire from my law practice for another 19 years. I like what I do; we don't work that many hours; and I want to keep my mind active. My health is excellent, but I have lost several friends to accidental death, & know I am not immune, just as everyone else isn't.

I know Charley thinks I am in denial about another car. I can honestly say, I am 100% certain I don't want a car I can't drive. I know I may run across "that car" that I just have to have, but would be willing to part with one of the current stable. We are at 10 now (not including parts cars both of which will be gone when their respective donee cars are done). Frankly, I don't want to keep up with more than 10. All 10 will fit nicely in our main garage (which is one reason why I don't need storage). Our cars are not particularly valuable compared to most collections, but they are fun cars that we like for varying reasons. We also have a concrete block 22 x 22 storage shed, and a very nice outbuilding.

The outbuilding is close to where we are putting the shop, so I could put the compressor in there. It is currently empty.

I have projects lined up that will keep me busy a minimum of 5 years. I won't be taking on new projects.
