Renting storage

[steve_64]

With an office front. One of 5 bays with one overhead door. 2000 sq ft not much more than a mile from home and on our way to a lot of our work.

$350 deposit and a month. Gave the deposit today.

Might look into buying building for $225,000.

I won't do a pole barn this way keeping our home desperate too. It was a no brainer.

I'm only getting 2000 sq ft at this point. I could but ill put that room to use.

 

[bob vawter]

in my heyday i rented 1800 sq for 600 bucks a month.....fi mile from home....
i hated it....
too far from home to jus run out to the garage when i had a hairbrained idea....so i turned it into a race car building and sandblasting shop....

big money in sandblasting ya know.....

The guy that owns it buikds heat exchangers for the military. He pays $38 an hour for welders but has a hard time finding guys who can weld these.

I did that for 30 yrs. temporarily. Finally bought another house, built a building and brought it all home, now that it’s retirement time.

long years ago I worked in a shop that did mostly Mil contracts
they made mostly heaters .
Any heater large or small you saw building, vehicles/equipment etc while in the Army, there's a good chance it came from that shop

many of the HX'ers were made of thin stainless ..maybe 22ga??

They have to be TIG welded
Damn near all the welders (8 or 10 of 'em) were ex-cons and/or alkies and dopers (no drug tests back then)
They all could TIG weld though..which isn't easy like MIG or even stick, but not beyond any welder that made it through thru trade skool or Vo-Ed hi-school

I just think he's stretching the troof a bit about paying $38 an hour .
cause that's at or above union scale hourly wage including their bennies cost

So what is going in the new shop?

The wife's cleaning supplies and your van ('s)? and maybe some pot plants?

Everything but the pot.
Will keep the home office but I am hoping to get all of the businesses in there and probably the durango that we just dumped ten grand into the body.
Genny had a $1000 day plus yesterday just her accounts.
Ill probably set up an area for rug cleaning too.
Its going to be nice not carrying equipment and rugs down the basement or digging things out of the shed. Especially in the winter!
