when I was looking into moving out, I found a place I wanted to move into... it was a dual zoned 5000 square foot warehouse, with a second story studio apartment area, complete with bathroom, shower, kitchen, etc. the only real problems with it were:
-Rent was something like 950/month... about 500 more then I could afford at the time
-once I moved in I'd never be able to move out into anything smaller ever again
-it was in a dangerous south phoenix ghetto area ( ironicaly, about a mile from where my company is moving)
I coudl probably have moved into something else eventually, and as my friend john pointed out `you shoulda snagged it... charged 100 bucks a month for internal, air conditioned vehicle storage per vehicle, 150 for motorhomes, and put them over to one side of the warehouse area. if you'd gotten 10 of them, you could get an alarm system too, with a large insurance policy against breakins, and still be coming out on top'
oh well, some other time perhaps.
my Dream garage would basicaly be like my friends step fathers was... giant 50x80 or 60x80 foot thing, with a single 12 foot tall x40 foot long roll up door, and regular human access door, swamp coolers, heaters, pipes for air, with drop down hose reels from the cieling, sealed floor, etc. the only thing it was missing was a sink, and it had the basic plumbing coming out of the floor for that, just never been added/finished. in one corner, would be the racks of BBC's ( hey, he had them, I want them too) and SBC's, the welding tools, the massive toolbox, drillpress, power outlets, engine hoist, ( debatig wether to get a frame H-beam runner hoist, on tracks, or sompin) and etc. oh, and there'll have to be an old fridge in there....
