I am considering the purchase of land 40 minutes +/- from my home. The property is 15 minutes or so from my office. I commute 30 minutes to my office now. On the property i plan to build a metal building that will house my layout and an efficiency "apartment" for me to enjoy the acreage. The questions are as follows....
1. Does anyone have a layout 30-40 minutes from their home? The exchange is size for accessibility. Obviously layout sessions would need to be preplanned not just a walk upstairs for 10 minutes. Is this worthwhile?
2. What is too much? I am thinking for the new one 25/20 by 35/40 give or take. Don't want it so big as to be too much for an individual. But if I am going to make this move the size differential needs to be meaningful.
3. I think I would like some professional help in a small way. I want to do most of this myself, but a small push in right direction might be helpful.
I realize this is ultimately a personal decision....just looking for thoughts and opinions of others...
