[Farmall] Only Slightly off topic: Shop and Storage building for Farmall ...

[Larry L Hardesty]

Todd,  Does sound similar.  I am going 40 thinking I should be close with 
my tractors...all smaller antiques...to having a center aisle.  Yes, 
looking at overhead doors at each end...no sliders for the snow here in 
Nebraska.   No skylights of fiberglass...and 200 amp box sound right. Good 
to know you had a good experience.

It sounds like you are building something very similar to mine which I 
built 
about 3 yrs ago.
Mine is 50X72 with the doors centered on the ends. With 50' wide you have 
a 
center aisle and can park tractors on either side. I park my vehicles in 
the 
center aisle. I can pull any tractor out without moving any others. I only 

have  to move my vehicles. It is layed out similar to a lot of big car 
dealer's 
shops.  I wanted to doors on the ends so that I don't have to deal with 
snow 
that slides  off the roof in front of the doors. I built mine all myself 
with 
materials from  Kentucky steel truss buildings. It uses steel web trusses. 
I put 
the shell  up in one summer. From the particular company I got it from 
50X72 
was cheaper  per sq ft than 40x80
was too. Mine is situated east to west, so I get good ventilation when 
both 
big doors are open. I didn't want skylights because I was afraid of 
leakage, 
and  I didn't want the sun to fade the paint on my tractors. Plus they 
weren't 
in the  budget.
I just put electric to it last fall (200 amp) and I'm wiring it now. I 
eventually want to partition off a 24X50
area for a shop. I'm on a pretty tight budget, so I work on it as $ 
permits.
