Mine is in two parts, separated by a double door. House is split level on a hillside with garage and shop underneath facing the back. Shop proper is heated/cooled and is 20x30. I keep all the tools there, outfitted with modular kitchen cabinets and drawers for storage with formica tops for work surfaces. I trash them pretty easy, but they are cheap, and I don't use any of the trim. Adjacent is the garage part of the shop and is also 20x30, enough for two tractors and a 4x16 heavy duty workbench (No formica here. This is a real workbench). This is about the size shop you are considering and same philosophy (no storage). I don't heat/cool the garage, and use a normal metal garage door. This works fine most of the time. I occasionally leave the double doors open to use central heat/cool to leak into the garage (door down). I also use halogen lights on tripods as heaters. We don't need much heat here. When weather is worst (Aug/Sept heat), this doesn't work at all and I just hibernate. This is plenty big for one tractor project, but when two are in there I have to occasionally roll one out to make room (to paint, for example). Below is a link to a picture taken half way through the F12 restoration. You can judge size from that. You are building a great one-tractor shop!
