Build new or rebuild my existing shop?

Posted by tractorkrum on January 25, 2015 at 09:57:37 from (216.222.189.57):

I have a 24x24 shop that was built in 1985 that I need to decide to repair or replace. Issues are: When the previous owner built the building it was put on a floating slab, it was built too low and water floods the floor, the concrete has cracked and moved pushing out one of the walls about six inches on the bottom, the overhead door is only seven feet high so on occasion mufflers need to be removed prior to entering the building, both the walk through door and the overhead doors need to be replaced, it needs new shingles, it is on the bottom of a hill, and now the insurance company told me that starting next year they would not insure it unless I repair it. I built a 36x64 pole shed about eight years ago that is filled to the seams. So I have a few options. First would be jack up the building and remove the existing concrete, add about two feet of fill and pour a new slab. Possibly add in-floor heat and add a lean-to. Second would be tear the building down and build a new one. Third would be add onto the pole shed for a new shop area. The problem with this is the location to the driveway and the terrain of the land. Fourth would be clean out the pole shed and insulate part of it for a new shop and then build another storage building. The problem with this last idea is I would like to have in-floor heat and a floor drain and do not want to break up the concrete. Another issue that I need to think about is that the plan is to build a new house at another location in the next ten years and I could build my dream shop at that time. What would you do?

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
