We've been wrestling with the same problem......10 pounds of something in a 5 pound bag. We are running out of room. When we get some projects out of the way we want to make some changes. I know we have a problem, but am not quite sure of how to solve it.

One thing that would be great to have is one partitioned off area for fabrication. Right now the grinding and other dirt we create gets over every inch of the shop. Even some clear plastic floor to ceiling tarps would be helpful in containing the mess. Ideally, it would be great to have one room for fabrication, one for painting, one for doing engines, and one for assembly, but that is impractical cost-wise.

I agree that the angled spots take up more room than straight in parking, but with only 60 feet to work with you are going to be limited on turning space. I like your idea of the elevated office area though.
