The main part of the building is the 40' x 50' shop area. It has 12' walls and a clear span, cathedral ceiling with gable ends for the extra height over the shop and also provides for a loft storage area on top of the ceiling over the trailer bay. The trailer bay area is walled off with a 5ft slider door with seals. The thought is that it could be converted to a wood shop some day, should I decide to not keep a car trailer. and keep the dust out of the car shop area. If I increased the building to a larger rectangle for the office, it would make the roof rafters much longer, which translates in to much bigger t.j.i's, bigger ridge beam & more bucks. Putting the office on the "back side", 10ft ceilings and a hip roof perpendicular to the shop roof ridge is more practical. So, in this instance, I think it turns out to be less expensive than the basic square approach.

The third room is a reinforced concrete safe/storm room.
