I presume this is a stand alone shop and not a storage building as you have the existing building and will move equipment to work on it in the new building. In my wood frame pole barn I have 400 square feet of shop ( heated and cooled) and can work one tractor at a time. Tools and lay down area takes most of remaining the area leaving wall storage for paints and such which I don"t freeze or bake. I have a table to set and work on items, work Brench for standup items, book shelf and refrigator. Welding and rough cleanup is outside this area. Most part storage ( except immediate need) is outside the shop area. With that said for each addition tractor or working bay I would add 200-240 square feet. My shop has a 10.5 foot ceiling and one place have a beam that can hold 4000 pounds (Wish I had two sky hooks). All doors should 10 foot or wider( I have a 16 x 14 High slider, but would make 20x14 today. I have 200 amp electrical just for the spaces. Most my lighting is ceiling mounted but side wall lights help eliminate the floor shadows. My concrete is 5 inches, 5 bag with fiber glass, and cut in 16x20 pieces. My enclosed work shop is well insulated and the pole frame portion has the bubble wrap insulation which greatly helps on the solar heat in the summer. I have door on 3 side to allow good cross venalation in the summer. One change I would make in shop would in my heating/cooling. I have electric strip heater and window type air-conditionor. I wish I had put in a heat pump( and still may) or have put in Geothermo. I one thing I like about the shop inside the pole barn is everything is under one roof so having the radio or TV handy is not a problem rain or shine. To Hot or cold just drag the equipment in to the conditions space. Can you add on to the present building? I would do it again with the exceptions noted

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
