I finally talked the warden into the size...She was a
tough sell but I did it.It will be 28 x 32....the only clause is to
save
room for her to park her van in the winter.

First off you should not be negotiating with the warden you are the one
that
should be entitled to unquestioning obedience. Not that I was able to
get
that deal either, but somewhere you got to draw the line and the shop is
the
place.

Since your size is restricted in two dimentions, you will need to dig
the
basement deep enough to gain an additional floor below and then you will
have to build up also. Since you also lost valuable floor space to
park a
van inside be sure to put a pole right where the door to the van will
open.
This will discourage parking the car inside so you can slowly co-opt the
space you lost in negotiations.

Of course this might start an insufferable whining about wanting a
station
wagon so you need to design the pole to be moveable or bolt down the
compressor where the door to the wagon will be.

If the butget does not allow for a second story at this time, design the
building to be easily modified later.

If you are not part of the solution, you are not dissolved in the
solvent.

Very devious and underhanded schemes. Filed accordingly for possible
future use.

Yep and quit referring to it as the garage, it's the Work Shop!! That will
reduce the pain with the temporary parking permit is rescinded :-)
