Like many in this business I have started out doing side work. Luckily I had a boss at one time that explained a lot of the buisness side to me. Not at the point I am making as good of money or better in my home shop as I do at my full time job. Right now I am feeling the physical and mental pain of basically working 2plus full time jobs. At what point do you consider yourself successful enough to quit your day job and go fulltime? Sent from my SM-N910R4 using Tapatalk

I am thinking 4 bays to start with individual doors. I am laying it out so it can be expanded latter. I really am not sure what the main draw is to a single entrance since it requires a bigger building to get the same number of bays. The shop I currently work in for my full time job is double bay deep and I am really not sure I can understand the draw to that either. Please chime in if I am missing something.

Currently I have been working nights and weekend out of my two stall garage, but that is soon to change. I just got an excepted offer on some property and am planning a new shop for in the spring. The problem I am having in figuring out the dimensions of the new building. I am leaning towards something around 40' x 60' with 14' side walls. So what is everyone's opinion on how deep and wide should each bay be? Is there a standard that is used out there somewhere?
