Car parts in the house

I'll tell ya. It's too late for me. But my idea of "a place" is just like a couple I saw back in the HVAC (heating AC) days. Couple guys had 2, 5, 10 acres. Built a HUGE shop. And then added a slap "lean to" on one end (was going to be future office) but built living quarters in it "while they built the house."

Only I'd just build the living quarters!!!! Small place, "studio" with kitchenette, decent but small bath, and small but separate bedroom, and large "everything" room and call 'er good. Low maintenance, aluminum siding and roof, and a DOOR INTO THE SHOP LOLOL

I guess they are called a "shome" LOLOL

And there is all kinds of ways.........partition off the rear of the shop, build living space "in the overhead" whatever.
