I am about to step into the unknown, namely building my own shop, and could use some advice. My wife and I decided to purchase a new house closer to my work in a better school district. The only problem is the new house only has a two car garage so there goes my shop space. We do have an open area of land, roughly equal to the space of a two car garage, and the wife has said that I can build a shop (assuming we can afford it). I have no idea how much something like this might cost (construction per square foot) or who to contact for building the shop or which magazines or books to consult for plans. If anyone has gone through this recently or wishes to offer suggestions/advice on how to get this done, I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks,
Roger
