Got my bus stuck (in the driveway no less!)

Hey Brian,
Congratulations on finally finding something!. Where'd you end up finding this place and how much land do you have for future building?

I bought a house in Ham Lake, MN with 3 acres.  A bus garage is a few years down the road yet.  Current rules would allow for a 2,000 square feet size limit with no height limit.

2,000 square feet is a nice size.  My bus shed is 35 feet by 60 feet, with a 15 foot door.  There is a poured concrete pad that is 12 feet by 45 feet and the rest is about two feet above the poured pad, and is typical wood joist construction.  When it was first built the whole floor was joists and one level, the pad was added about two decades later so that larger boats could be backed in on trailers.  My place was a boat building "factory".  The big building was where they made the hulls out of fiberglass, the small building (now my bus barn) was where they added the engines, built the decks, installed the cabins.

Some of the boats:
