Like most shops, mine has turned out to be too small. 33' by 48' with 16' sidewalls. Just built a 8' loft running the lenght of the building and across the back adding a total of 614 sq.ft. As of now, just been using a ladder to get up there and am already tired of it. Going to add a set of stairs but giving up the floor space for them kind of defeats the whole purpose of saving floor space. I'm contemplating using hinges on these stairs to pull with an electric chain hoist thats been sitting around for years not being used. Would appreciate any experience or ideas you guys might have. Thanks
