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. |

Hmmmm..... Hunt? ... Fish? .... Work? - ... Hunt? ... Fish? .... Work?
Tough choices Bill! Just a word of caution from someone in the RE biz - hopefully you & your broker checked out prior owners & tenants businesses for operations & Hazmats that may have been used on-site, since your purchase or lease puts you in the chain of liability under Federal CRCLA. I had a friend who purchased a small Class 3 railroad in SC, then found out later that he was liable for all of the by then prior owner's clean-up. enjoy that HUGE shop & adjacent Play Zone!

There was nothing of note. Thanks, Bill |
