designing in CAD

[Factory48]

I designed my shop in CAD so I could visualize how things were going to layout and function. 6 years after completion It’s still working pretty well for me. Only a handful of things I’d change. I’d say, for any of you that are planning on building, consider drawing it up in CAD. You don’t need a high end program for it. In fact Sketchup is probably one of the best for it only because it’s cheap (or free) and you can download and insert available models of cars, trucks, trailers, machines, sinks, lifts etc etc and move them around to see how everything will work in the space.

best of luck to everyone!
