Taxes: You are supposed to depreciate it over the life of the building, different that as supplies. What you get by with and what you do - that is up to you.
Size: I am like you, and dreaming too. You mention 'combine' so I suggest you make it a tad bigger than you have it. Most combine heads are 20 feet these days, if like me you don't have that now, you might in the future. You got a lot of hieght, you might as well have at least a 16 foot wide door. Building needs 2 foot of shelf & 4 feet of working room on each side, so 16 plus 6 plus 6 is 30 wide, and measure how long a combine is, or you ever want to pull an implement in with a tractor - you need it 40 feet deep and that means you can't store anything on the front wall at that.
You just can't work in 24 feet wide, with cambine & shelf & tools, no room to swing shields away, work, etc.
Would be nice to have a small simple door to get a pickup or medium size tractor out the opposite side of the big door. Can be a slider you insulate up real well semi-sealed shut, but just nice to be able to drive through a shop pulling something in if the need arises.
I have a 28x36 wood frame building that I'm debating if I insulate & turn into a heated shop. Would need to enlarge doors. Biggest problem is height, I don't know that I can easily get to 12 feet high. All my stuff fits inside an 11 foot door right now, but - future always brings higher, not sure I will be comfortable with a low shop..... Little small, but like you, hate to spend too much on heat, etc.

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Your Tractor - by Staff. Maybe you bought it from a friend who didn't know what kind of tractor it was, or perhaps (and this is every tractor fanatics dream) you stumbled across it in an abandoned field covered with weeds but intact. In any case, you have no idea what the make and/or model is. For awhile perhaps it doesn't really matter. Especially if it runs! But pretty soon you'll probably need to tinker with it a bit and maybe buy a part or too. Having a manual is nice. But how does one go about dete
