^^^In that case, build the shop. You only live once.^^^
Yeah, do it. All my hobbies are machines, engines, books, tools, that are at least 50 years old and you can't get anymore. If I don't get it while I can and tarp it until I can build a decent garage, I won't ever get one. You got the means and you deserve it, run with that. The one thing I would change is considering is a 4 car garage enough. I helped a man build a garage once that figured out what he had to put in there, where it would go, nothing was out of place. It was too small even as we were building it
Not on OCC, but only because I was already on too many before I found it. I'm on one forum or another for near about any hobby you can think of. That's the biggest reason I'm not on here too much. I have a bad habit of letting life get in the way. I'm working on fixing that
A coworker recently put in a 20X30 shop. He immediately wished he built it bigger. He has the room, it was just a matter of money.We had a 24 x 48 pole barn with a dirt floor that I ended up converting into a shop. A few years later, I put a 16 x 24 addition on the back which is now exclusively the machine shop area. I've never looked back on those modifications, other than wishing I'd made the addition larger.
