I've had a year to think about all the "what if's" and like most everything - it all depends on the person and their particular situation.
I can buy a great building about 10 miles down the road for 1/3rd of what the excavation and cement bids were... but then I'm having to get in the car - go down somewhere and blah blah blah.
My trade off is to have the shop mere feet from my favorite chair... I'm old... and not getting any younger... I like the convenience of just being "home". I'd rather have a smaller shop at home than a bigger shop 10 miles down the road. The larger shop under the house was mostly taken up by truck and trailer storage. So the net shop space wasn't much larger than what I have now.
I'll just figure out where to store the rig... which isn't used very much - and if it was 10 miles down the road - no biggie.
