I am moving to a different state to buy some land on which to build a boatshop/workshop and BTW a house. BTW, The boatshop/workshop will be at least 2500 square feet, not counting support equipment. :-)) Now all I have to do is come up with a way to pay for all of this. :-)) michael *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************

Being somewhat <grin> a collector, I needed a place to store all my "things" (which includes boats, molds, other sordid articles. After some calculation, I decided that a structure 24 x 24 feet would do it. So I built a 48 x 48 foot pole barn and ran the eave height up 18 feet so I could put a second story (loft) in it -- double my floor space with minimal extra cost. After 12 years that barn is full, I have another smaller one full and am contemplating building another. If anyone wants pole barn building lessons...... I should admit that my paddle factory takes up a good portion of the bigger one. Have fun figuring and collecting.....
