I have a 24x24 shop that was built in 1985 that I need to decide to repair or replace. Issues are: When the previous owner built the building it was put on a floating slab, it was built too low and water floods the floor, the concrete has cracked and moved pushing out one of the walls about six inches on the bottom, the overhead door is only seven feet high so on occasion mufflers need to be removed prior to entering the building, both the walk through door and the overhead doors need to be replaced, it needs new shingles, it is on the bottom of a hill, and now the insurance company told me that starting next year they would not insure it unless I repair it. I built a 36x64 pole shed about eight years ago that is filled to the seams. So I have a few options. First would be jack up the building and remove the existing concrete, add about two feet of fill and pour a new slab. Possibly add in-floor heat and add a lean-to. Second would be tear the building down and build a new one. Third would be add onto the pole shed for a new shop area. The problem with this is the location to the driveway and the terrain of the land. Fourth would be clean out the pole shed and insulate part of it for a new shop and then build another storage building. The problem with this last idea is I would like to have in-floor heat and a floor drain and do not want to break up the concrete. Another issue that I need to think about is that the plan is to build a new house at another location in the next ten years and I could build my dream shop at that time. What would you do?
