    I could just see it being a huge pain to move stuff around with the tiers.

Especially with the wood pillars everywhere. That's my take.

    1: Having a land lord. To me that would be a massive con as you are more limited or prone to problems

    3: No water.
    4: The metal and metal roof is gonna turn into a oven and would require a lot of cooling. Would get expensive to maintain
    5: Easy to break into the shop
    6: The shop itself is large but the "showroom" is very narrow. the roof kind of limits it a lot.
    7: Overall it would be costy and take a long time. I would look around first and if theres nothing else. I'd try to edge in on buying it so you can completely renovate or build from the ground up

    So, looking at the size of the building, also the side storage made me optimistic, but seeing the main building set up, it may be too much to change for your needs, the different tiers, plus all the support joists kind of hinder too much, even if you makes ramps for the floors, having to maneuver around those poles all the time with become a whole thing, plus, all the other things you'd have to change would really take ALOT of time, work, and money. It's really a nice shop, and if you could maybe strike a deal to have access to the gated yard and side storage would probably be major, but I fear that the main shop might end up not being your best choice.

    This would definitely be a better setup for someone more involved with 4x4 and trucks. Even if you built a ramp to get up the 12 in rise, you'd have to make it such a gradual slope for the low cars, and that would compromise shop floor space. I think that shop would be great for someone more involved with building off road builds, but not something you should look into

    I was kinda sold with the whole Han's shop / Toky Drift vibe, i think it would work really well with 3 doors going down the side (One for each level), instead of one at the front. And then you could have two levels have lifts, and maybe one for smaller ground level jobs, tuning, maybe even your own dyno in the long term? The storage is a huge plus, and it could work. The cons of it, like not having water, good wiring, pavement outside. All things that can be fixed, but it would cost big bucks. Of course, if the landlord is willing to help in making the place more accessible and workable that'd be great. I just think it's a case of: 'If you can make it work, it'll be the coolest shop ever, but are you willing, and more importantly, capable of making that investment'. Overall, maybe browse around a little more, maybe you'll find something similar that requires less work to be done, but i'd say this would make a great HQ-ium ;)

    While the tier system would definitely be annoying I think you should go for it. You can lay concrete and make a few ramps and it would make it much less problematic, as for insulation, it's a bit of an investment (everything in this shop is) but you could hire a crew who would come to the shop with professional equipment and spray insulating foam between the studs after that you could board the foam off with wood paneling and make it much nicer, or just keep the foam to save some money and for insane echo suppression. Besides, you could always add wood paneling later. Also somewhat knowing the previous owner is a plus in my book and he mentioned having a tractor and other stuff and if asked nicely maybe he could help with some landscaping. The distance to your current home is a huge bonus too.
    In conclusion, it's going to take some work but so does everything and I doubt you'll find something of better value, so go for it.

    I think if you can get into an agreement with your friends to store cars there or something it would make the excessive space more worth it. It seems like your friends are eager to help and actually have the tools to do so. having a friend as a landlord is also pretty huge.
    I would wait and look at some of the other buildings in the area but this is a contender.

    If that's a rental and you need to put all that work into it, have the owner do some sort of free rent situation or something to help absorb the upgrade costs in the lease. Dumping that amount of cash into something that's not yours is alot

    Just keep in mind that you need to keep all your stuff safe, anything that’s not bolted down can be stolen. I would put the lifts in the front on the left and right side, leave the other ramp stages as storage. Be careful dealing with friends if you want to keep them as friends

    I'd pass on it. The weird levels and supports in the way should be a deal breaker since those ramps will take up so much space. It's also a lot of dirt and no pavement. No insulation will be terrible when it gets hot/cold and I can see outside light from inside the main building. It looks like the storage building has a water intrusion problem.

  • @slandon1977
    @slandon1977 3 года назад

    I'll give my input based on owning a house with a shop not far from where you are living now. First, a bit about my shop - it's 1,500 square feet, is uninsulated, and has no heating or cooling except for ceiling fans. In the summer time it gets easily 105-110 degrees in the shop and the only way to lower that would be to open the doors. When the outside temperature is 90-100 degrees that's not going to be doing much to cool you down. (it's already in the 90's in my shop by noon)
    Basically my shop is only usable from about 6am until 11am from mid June to sometime in September.
    First step would be to insulate and drywall the space, and make it airtight. That is going to cost you a ton of money. My 1,500 square foot shop will require (back of the napkin math) about $2,500 in drywall and insulation. Then, my shop would require about $4,000-$6,000 worth of mini-split heat pumps to heat and cool. The power consumption to heat and cool this space would be pretty substantial as well. I plan on only keeping it at 80-85 degrees in the summer time (when not in use) and maybe 50 degrees in the winter...
    So, multiply that by your square footage, and then spend thousands of dollars to insulate and drywall that space.
    We aren't even factoring in the question about ceiling height for lifts or if the concrete is thick/strong enough for lifts. Oh, and it's a free standing building so no matter which direction the sun is coming in from you are taking the full brunt of it.
    If you were buying this, I might think it could work out in your favor and could be pretty cool when complete, but for a place you don't even own, it would be a nightmare IMO.

  • @sambres972
    @sambres972 3 года назад +6

    You could put 3 doors in the front of the place. Then you would have like 3 "runways" for cars and lifts and then columns wouldn't really be in they way of anything!

    The shop does have potential, and depending on how much work ya wanna put in... you could either lay new flooring at the same height and have the ramp at the entrance, or level it all down to the same height and hope the pillars are long enough to reach down. Instead of having several ramps to get around inside there.

    Idk I would keep looking for now. If you have to you can always fall back on that place. The floor is unfortunate along with the roof supports everywhere. But on the plus side it's overall pretty big. But then again always having to maneuver around those dang poles would be annoying. But maybe your landlord friend would give you free months rent if you do work to the place. Maybe you could have an engineer come and see if it was possible for them to beef up the roof structure so you can remove the beams. You could also have a concrete guy come and cut the concrete back and make a smooth transition.

    building garage doors in the side of the building would elevate the stress of having multiple floors and the pillars wouldnt be much in the way at that point and maybe giving extra room with getting ride of the second floors would help with feeling out the space. just graveling the drive way and flattening it a little would help tremendously

    I think this shop has a lot of potential like was mentioned several times, yes its going to need a lot of TLC but as car guys we all know how to make things our own. There is a ton of room for not just improvements but also for a shop to make your own.
    Even if the city doesn't allow you to run water (unless its in Atlanta I don't forsee it being an issue), you can always do like you mentioned and have a water tank. Pros of that set up would be self sustainability, especially with a separate generator.
    If the price was right and I had a show that close to where I live, then I would absolutely get it

    Hey Caleb, first of all i'm a big fan i've been following your channel since around late 2015 (Forza gaming content and Fred) in advance i'm sorry to bother you with that much text.
    I've always enjoyed your builds and other content, it's great to see how much you've achieved over the past few years, not only youtube wise but also yours automotive knowledge.
    With that said, i wish you all the best in GA and i'm very excited to see your future ideas, builds and content.
    As for the shop,
    I worked in a few as well i've owned a few and in my opinion it's better to use the space in the width (as long as it's deep enoug) than in the length of a building, that way you can store cars easier, and work in separate "bays" of the shop.
    As you saw in your old shop when you had a car on the lift and few in front, hou had to move all the cars to get out, when you seperate the building in let's say 4 bay's (every floor tier) including the "fabshop" you could dedicate the space to different things. This could be a shop or two, fabrication/welding bay, storage bay, and maybe even a cleaning/paintjob/electrical bay, office with space for the merchandise.
    That way you won't have to deal with any ramps (which would be a big pain to do since they would be very long to compensate the angle for lowered cars) and issues with getting the cars between the beams, also to make it more cost efficient, you could always begin renovating in steps, since it's such a big building you could do this in sections, let's say set up the shop bay at first, isolation, wiring, water, lifts and tools, that way you won't have to deal with the "junk" on the daily and it would be esier to keep a smaller section colder/warmer in seasons, from there building the shop up section by section, creating a nice and clean environment for yourself.
    Downside to this would be setting up walls in between the tiers, and getting some doors on the side of the building, this could be expensive at first but i think it would pay itself off in the long run as it brings so much more potential to it and would be more user friendly, and i think this way you could make much more content out of it, by building the shop section by section.
    Best of luck to you and Audrey !
    Greeting from a fan from the Netherlands.
