Re: Going to take a little work but decent shop.
So much potential, man! I could easily see that turning into a nice little shop. Especially for a one man operation...it's perfect. Hell, you got an office/waiting area, storage space, visibility, useable left overs, looks really clean on the outside...score if you ask me!
Get a fire permit and light those boxes up. Screw breaking them down. Grab some beer and enjoy. Maybe that is the New Hampshire in me talking, ha. We burn everything around here.

Definitely has potential. I bet you are very excited to get started on it.

Looks like lots of room to work with, congratulations! Project #1 seems to be better lighting, based on the pics.

Re: Going to take a little work but decent shop.
Lots & lots of potential...
Also...Nice to have a short commute to work!
-Are you still "part-time" detailing for your preferred clientele only?
-Didn't notice a bathroom/washroom facility, or any indoor/outdoor hose bibs/sill cocks
for detail-washes.
-Lots of parking area around...I'm guessing you can use it.
-How much land proper, if any, goes along with the building?
-Those commuter buses/vans look nice...I've always wanted to convert one as to be a personal motor home.
Please keep us updated on your project's progress.

Absolutely! It took me a solid year to get the lighting in my shop to be up to par. I spent a lot of money on a cool lobby and other creature comforts first but in hindsight I would spend money on the work area first and then the other stuff. Here's a warning...building a shop is a money pit. You'll never be satisfied and stuff will always be breaking down.

Re: Going to take a little work but decent shop.
Along with what FUNX was asking about the bathroom/water...can you wash inside? Drains? Water runs out the door?
I guess I don't understand the compressor...IIRC the previous tenants were working on the vans for the owner...so I presume he bought the compressor for them to do that...so why would you have to buy it? Or is he going to be bringing the vans somewhere else for service now that you are renting the garage? I'm not saying it's not worth it for you to buy it, I just don't understand why the owner bought it.
