Cool deal RC
I've said for years now
"My ideal place would be a apartment above a huge garage with a cot & a shower...LOL,
In reality thou as long as I have a nice bedroom to fit a king size bed, a nice sized shower/clean bathroom, a nice roomy living room/den & space for a desk, also for a big screen a big recliner & leather couch, a nice clean roomy kitchen & same floor Laundry facilities, all the regular amenities you need to live comfortably...
Just for me & my dog, my dad won't be with me much longer,
I highly doubt I'll be married, kids are all grown up & they ain't moving back in...
1200-1500sqft is plenty big, as long as I have space for working on my projects & cars
40 x 40 open space no posts would be nice workshop, with a lift & maybe a pit too,
2 {-3} 12ft high x 16 ft wide roll up doors front & back
or a little bigger if it's the right place/location, not anywhere near the population
& to also have a drive around/thru & "flat-ish" driveway & thru garage/shop, preferably
with a nice 1-2 bedroom apt. above it, outside access too, that would be nice/ideal...
I was going to buy some commercial property a few years back & do that very thing...
Before dad got sick & my Uncle Ron died, I have my hands full right now...
Back Burner ****, now just someday...
I miss my old 66k sqft warehouse actually 2 floors,
one bottom floor was wide open, with just a few pillars
in Port Chicago hwy/Concord Ca. area,
across from a nice 18 hole Golf Course, nice quite area, not much traffic etc.
My business offices were attached on the 3rd floor, elevator & all,
much like any 1 bedroom apt. would be equipped {but no Laundry...LOL}
I rented out the 2 bottom floors of office spaces to cover taxes & electric etc....
That way when I was tired after work or working on a project,
racecar, restoration, paint job, cabinetry or whet ever,
I'd just pull everything inside, loaded work trucks or even my
Kodiak truck & 45' trailer still hooked up, still had room all around it too,
I'd just roll the doors down, turn the lights off, go upstairs & stay there...
That was nice...
NICE... just as I would have expected...
