Well....

3 years ago, I put up a 30 x 70 foot metal building with concrete floor. I was fortunate to salvage the building from client who wanted it gone....my only cost was the concrete and my labor...and then, it filled up...2 years ago, I took the saw mill and sawed me some 16 foot 2 x4s and made me an extension off one side of 16 X 70 feet...one year later, there is a stack of lumber under the addition, along with a mercedes, cub farmall, chipper, generator, son's jeep, H farmall and B John Deer...the attachment is full!!!

In the main shop building, I have shelving and cabinets along 2 70 foot sides and along far end. Cabinets and shelving full of tractor parts, general junk that "I will use sometime" antique law books that will never be used again and I just cannot send to the dump...and then there is the drill press, Joiner, 3 table saws, paint shaker, torch, lathe, milling machine, permanent and mobile air compressors, 2 refurbished 2 G allis Chalmers tractors, an H farmall in restoration, a 27 Regular in restoration, an A John Deer in restoration,tool cabinets, peg board on walls with everything on earth I need and dont need, grandsons bycycles, bed frames in rafters, cultivators in rafters, 2 gravely tractors in restoration, 1 IH 3-5 HP engine...another one in restoration, a John Deere A, and a work bench with every carb piece imaginable...and sometimes I get the tractor parts mixed up...and I am sure the finished thing will look like that car that Johnny Cash stole from detroit piece by piece! ( Oh, I forgot the welder, the the shaper, band saw, metal band saw and the stack of pine lumber drying out)

Now, on the other hand, I was up at my friends shop last week...same size as mine, it was so clean and neat you could actually walk around and have dinner on the floor....He is a specialist...he only rebuilds fordsons...so, I think the answer is "Specialize"
