I finally have a place to work on my cars. Picked this up a few months ago and am starting to get it ready to use.
It's an older industrial complex that is fenced in, has air conditioned offices, loading dock, bathrooms, and 3 phase power. It also has an outside storage building. The warehouse area (around 3500 sq ft) already has piping for compressed. I've been working on the basics (had the roof resealed), A/C upgrades, redoing the offices with new flooring, paint, etc. Next week someone starts on stripping the floors so they can be resealed and then a 2 post lift can be installed. Will probably install a 4 post lift as well. These are pictures just before purchase. I'll update as progress is made. |

Wow, that is awesome! Will you make a business or rent out part of it to recoup operating costs? The only thing wrong is that now you need about 23 more 914s to fill it up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) John |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) John I've thought about renting out the offices. There are offices upstairs and downstairs and each level has its own HVAC unit. The offices also have their own entrance and can be shut out from the garage. That's why I am redoing the offices and bathrooms so they look nice. The offices are already wired for internet. I'm contemplating the Regus model where you rent out a fully furnished office to include power, internet, phone, etc. This is good for someone who needs an office to meet clients, extra office space for a while, etc. Also, there is always demand for RV/boat storage. The 1.5 acre property is fully fenced and is paved/graveled. There is opportunity there as well. |
