kirban 2 cents worth
way back in 1970 when we bought our lst house it had 2 1/2 bays attached before moving in had a contractor build a 5 bay garage back then it was ten grand with concrete floors and I think 7ft wide doors....then about 13 years ago we moved up north alittle new house one floor built and I had a 30 by 50 pole building built.... 2 small garage doors on the 50 ft side and one I think 16 ft window door on the 30 ft side 12 ft ceiling so lift fit perfectly think its a rotary lift works great.
other tricks my kid who is super smart mounted the entire heater assembly in the ceiling so no floor space is waste floors are painted to cut down dirt....I got a panel truck out back and small shed for all useless junk so nothing is in my building cept small work table and tools and my limited skills mostly detailing...
side door has a cat door so my security cats can stay inside at nite (down to 2 cats now)....rodents are no issue as the cats do their job for room and board and of course 2 sq meals a day
driveway circles the pole building so you never have to back up....narrowest point is probably 12/14 feet 30 by 50 works out great with I think I can get 6 cars in there
main thing is buy a junk van so you can put all the other stuff in the van and not take up room in your building....

oh yes I did have a artist come in and paint almost full size a GNX on the one wall at the time I had 2 GNXs in the building for him to look at cost me several grand...also when the concrete floor was being laid we dropped in a GN emblem in the center....I did the same at the old house only with a GTO emblem in the floor kinda like the egyptains did so generations later will wonder who lived there....gotta think ahead if you plan to do it in the concrete floor. In the 1970s and 1980s I was heavily into the GTO business just as well known in that world as the Turbo Regal world today
Somehow I lucked out and picked two winners in the GM muscle car family....
