Projects Finally dont have to build cars in the driveway.

I have a 2 car garage at my house but it is filled up with tools and cars i cant leave out in the weather... so most of my stuff has been built in the driveway over the years.

Well i lucked into this and closed on it last week... ww2 era building, 60x40x18, new steel roof, zoned commercial, 3 minutes from my house, has lift, compressor, and forklift. And most importantly...afordable.... I am very happy...

Will take some doing to make nicer, but i can do that as i get the $$$.

 

Wow! Thats the bees knees!

 

Congratulations

 

First project, weld up some bars for those windows! Cool shop!

congrats

 

Was that Beistels old building?

That’s awesome congratulations! Hobo Jim

 

Wow dreams do come true. Looks like it has either steam heat or hot water heat. You will like that. It is so much cleaner than forced air. Especially when you are painting.

Would love to see more pics of it.

 

Drylock works well, and brightens up the place. nice score.

 

"will take some doing to make it nicer" DON'T YOU DARE. that place is COOL!!!!

 

Happy for you! Awesome.
I'd hardly ever be home.

 

Looks like a cool old place, and big, too. Would like to see more pictures.

 

Thats awesome ,nice score.

 

Looks like heaven. Hope you didn't 'pass away', and don't know it!
I've seen movies like this...

 

"Nicer?" All it needs is a beer cooler in the corner.

 

Congratulations man, what an extremely 180 from your current situation of working in the driveway.

 

That building looks great, please post more photos. HRP

 

Lucky
That’s a dream shop

Congratulations

 

Jesus, they threw in a forklift? Do you need a big dog to live in there?

 

great !!!!!!!

 

Can we come over?

 

Wow!!! 60 x 40 x 18 high and a vintage building at that. Let's see, first order is an alarm system. Section off a corner to do all your dirty work-welding, grinding, body/paint work.
Then a mezzanine so you can use that forklift to hoist extra bodies and drivetrain parts up there for storage. Leave enough room up there to build out a man cave/rumpus room; Couches, pool table, big screen and sound system, bar, kitchenette. Take a break, entertain. Hell, I'd never go home.

 

I will get more pics up once i get more done... first order of buisnees is to make inside shutters so i can make it secure and insulate a bit when closed up.. Then Upgrade the electeical... still has a 60 amp fuse box!!!

Then i may upgrade the old coal furnace.

 

Cool beans!!!! Good for you!!!

 

Looks wonderful. A perfect canvas.
