Nope the city (and I use that term loosely 85 people) has no rules on buildings. I assume there are some state rules that need to be followed. I checked with the county since I figured if the city has no rules that it would revert to the county. They said they have no jurisdiction in the city limits.

So if you want to live where you don't have to worry about the size of shop you want Kent Mn is a great place to be.

Here's a couple shots or mine... Its 40 x 30, block construction, insulated, hurricane standards, air and heat.... Built it in 2008 and its full!!!! Love the lift and would not be without one now!!! Still moving things around and making more useable room......

Very nice guys.

Mack, how tall is the lift you have and what brand is it.

[Ron Brindisi Jr.]

Mack, Very Nice!

A friend of mine built: rip a 1/2 inch, 4x8 sheet of plywood in half or whatever... and build, (a 2x4 frame) into a high "bar style" table with locking wheels with 2 shelves beneath.... It would give u storage between the 2 cars, as well as a work table and eating/bench racing area. He ended up finishing the second one and gave him 16' of movable area.... I am going to do the same soon... Ron

Thanks,
Ron, great idea about the work and thanks for sharing... Never enough room..... I think I could fill a 100 x 100 given enough time...... Just a pack-rat when it comes to the car stuff.....

Mack, Ywelcome, I want a tajmahal garage!! lol

How do you like your roll-up doors vs a garage door... seems like they would be cool... I believe I see a shower/rroom... my shop needs that... Love the challenger and your colors... My last drag car I want is a challenger roadster for super comp... if I could do justice to the body lines... If u ever make it up to zmax, let me know.... Ron

Ron, you are right I do have a bathroom... Did this after the inspection and final from the county... Also did the prep work for a shower but have not finished that yet... Wife says I spend too much time there now... With a shower and a cot I could say there all the time... The roll up doors are fine... You don't loose any overhead space and if you want to you can add a power operator.. I don't have them... Hand chains work fine....
Also added a dump station for the motor home.. That's the handiest thing I did....

Mack, great idea with the roll ups and shower, Ron great looking garage, like your idea for a Challenger bodied altered(a la dirt modified kind of way) would look sharp.Ken, Atlas are one of the best lift available, just don't forget to lock them at all times! Claude
