Well, I'm about to start building a shop at my house and was wondering if anyone out there had any good ideas? I live on a good bit of land in the country and have a boat, tractor, mower, four wheelers, and plenty of tools.. I just need somewhere to keep my things out of the weather and an area where I can tinker around, skin deer, clean fish, etc.

I've thought about pouring a 40x50 slab and building the shop 30x40 with (2) 10ft drop sheds off the sides..

I'm just kind of looking for some cool ideas or suggestions.. Thanks!

However big you get it, you'll want it a little bigger.

I'd recommend putting a lien off of it. That way will save you a little room inside to work. You can put a lot of shite out there that doesn't have to completely be out of the weather. Especially tractor implements, utility trailers, and stuff like that.

Lots of shelves.

I've seen a few with a corner section walled off and finished to make an office. Those are badass. Could have a nice TV, some mounts, a mini fridge, a good sound system, and a big window inside the shop so you can see all your toys. You can still use the top of it for light storage too.
