The barn burned down last November. We finally got it all cleaned up and are building a new shop. It’s going to be 56′ x 32′. I’m going to include a 22′ x 12′ metal and welding shop, a 12′ x 10′ finishing room, an office, a dust collector & air compressor closet, and a bathroom. I haven’t figured out exactly how big the office will be yet. I don’t want to lose too much main floor space.
Here’s a Sketchup image of the building as planned. The structure to the left will be a solar kiln.
