My shop is small, 10×16, and I built it with my bare hands. I had plans to have one of the big box stores to build me a new shed/shop and my back yard, right before Katrina hit us in '05. But once the storm hit, it was impossible to get a contractor, for something as trivial as a shed. And at this point, I didn't just WANT a new shed/shop, but I NEEDED one! I had an old wooden shed 15×20 or so, and it was falling apart before, but the storm took it's roof off, and the back fell off of it's foundation, so the sides were caving in. And then I had a small metal shed, with lawn equipment, and such, and it got blown into the neighbors yard. I only had a little damage to my houses roof, and some other minor damage, with which I fixed myself. So with the 4 grand I got from my insurance, I built one fine, but small, new shop. At first it also housed lawn equipment also. But after I really fell for woodworking, I added on a lean-tool for the lawn equipment and storage. The shop is all wood working now.
