    Hidden Costs of Having a Shop?

    We had considered building our shop at my house and ended up buying elsewhere instead. One of the best decisions Ive ever made! Its hard enough to shut biz off when you get home and spend QUALITY time with your family. Having our shop and offices elsewhere gives some sense of separation. Do...
