[QUOTE="Rruuff Day, post: 121485, member: 2217"] My advice is change it out to wider rather than deeper. My first was built as a 2 car, 30 wide by 24 deep by 10 foot ceiling. Lots wide for 2 vehicles and storage along the sides but not deep enough for anything like a work bench or storage at the front, and barely wide enough to walk around the front and rear if you have a pickup... (My truck is 20 feet long) So next time around, I was somewhat smarter. I went 32 deep by 60 wide and a 12 foot ceiling. I have 4 - 10 foot high by 10 foot wide doors. I have walled off, insulated and heated a 21 foot wide Vettecave on one end where my Vette and my music and my collectibles live. Outside is all metal roof and sides. Inside of VetteCave is metal clad. Inside of unfinished portion is just that.... unfinished and unheated. But it is cooled... errrr... in the winter....lol. And I agree with Murray. Go big or stay home. I thought mine was huge until I filled it. The cost for increasing the size is a sliding scale.... The majority of the cost is in the first 500 sq. ft. Mine is pole shed style with no pony walls. mice can get into the unfinished side but have never had a mouse in the Vettecave, It has concrete floor which is easy to finish down tight to. The unfinished side is gravel floor. All in cost me 60 k to build 11 years ago, but I did do the panel and wiring myself. Here's a couple pictures.
