Donovan,

I enjoy your pictures that you have been posting. I don't really know you other than your posts and maybe you have all this worked out but this is something to consider. I am going to presume that you are in your mid 20's or so seeing as you talk about finishing up Tech school, girlfriend etc. The first thing you need to do before you start investing in a shop is think about your future plans. What is the plan once you graduate tech school? Are there jobs readily available where you are at? What about the girlfriend if she becomes more than that? Do you plan on staying in the same area as your parents? Do your parents plan on moving any time soon? Do you want a place of your own? Do you eventually want a shop built with your money at a place you may not be living. Like NECowman says, it doesn't take something fancy to do some major work in. You could pull the engine outside and work on it in a garage somewhere. Maybe you could find a garage, move it to your place and set it up as a temporary shop. Two of the best old time mechanics that I knew used the garage attached to there houses and did major tractor and car work in it. I do feel your itch. I want a shop in the worst way and the wife and I want an acreage in the worst way. But right now it isn't meant to be so I am making due with my garage/shop here in town. I also know a lot of times we don't know what the future will hold either so sometimes you just need to jump with both feet and hope for the best.

Good luck

Wil
