Lee;

As one who has done this, there is a formula I discovered regarding required 
garage dimensions, too late!

Take the calculated floor size, multiply by twice you age minus the number 
of friends, relatives and children you have successfully eluded in your last 
move to your new secret location, add 10% for the beer fridge and 
powdercoating oven equals the new size. This should be at minimum twice what 
you think you will need, because even that will be too small.

So help me God.

Dave
