The three buildings are nearly 4,800 sq. ft. and still need more lol! The dilemma is I’m equally obsessed with small modular homes, prefabs, etc. as I am with dream garages and garage condos. The plan is to eventually build a small residence on the property with it’s design determined by...

Here’s a peek at the current interior. My main attention has been on the exterior cleanup so it’s pretty cluttered and “rustic” inside lol! Hopefully I’ll be able to enclose the glass room in the coming weeks then I can pull down the scaffolding that’s preventing hanging the left side...

Speaking of birds, I’m currently using the hangar for my vinyl graphics operation and now HQ’s for repairing Bird Scooters. If you live in a major city like Atlanta you’ve see the popularity of them explode. They get broken, flat tires, etc. and it’s a fun little side business to hunt damaged...

Thanks! It's only 1 acre, about 250' x 175'. There's enough birds around I don't think it will ever be an issue. I see everything from red cardinals to hawks just about every day. Ever heard two turkey vultures dancing on a metal roof? I don't surprise easily but that will sure get your...

One. Not exactly cool or even interesting but it’s a Bell 47 battery mounting rail that was hidden behind the breaker box in the hangar. At least there was one part lol! I’ll probably print the old photo and mount the part with it.

Another 30 yard dumpster filled. It took exactly 1 year, give or take a week, to discard 99% of the trash and debris that was all over the property. Total has been over 10,000 lbs. of trash and 1,000 lbs. of various scrap metal. Here’s the view from the last trip to the metal recycler...

Thanks again! Most definitely! I've looked into it and it's about $100 for the sock and frame.

Re: Abandoned Heliport | Living + Studio + Garage Using a combination of property records, state business records, and a 1986 helicopter operators directory, I was able to locate the “original” owner on Facebook of all places! He purchased the property in 1963 after returning from Vietnam and...

Re: Hangar Living + Garage + Shop Thanks! The zoning does allow chickens, just not roosters! I grew up on a 100+ acre farm where our yard chickens were often a treat for a family of Red-tailed Hawks. Tried Guineas once and they barely lasted a couple weeks lol! This has been the only one so far...

Hangar Living + Garage + Shop Ticks are an issue just about everywhere and Georgia is no exception! Not wanting to spray for them or mosquitos, and possibly harm the bees, I put out 20 Praying Mantis egg sacks. You can buy them online in the spring and wait until you have at least two weeks...

Hangar Living + Garage + Shop Snakes. I don’t mind them. Generally, they keep to themselves but some I simply don’t want around. Like this one. It was a relatively cool morning the last week of April and I found it coiled up under a truck mudflap covered in brush. Using a stick, I...

Re: Abandoned Heliport | Living + Studio + Garage A few months ago I made a pact with myself that i wouldn't do any unnecessary improvements or additions until the property is clean and tidy. So I started in one corner with only a machete and pruning saw clearing the underbrush and saplings...

Nice! Looks why we had similar starting points! Other than the 30 cubic yards of parts, trash, and debris I had to remove to see the floors in my hangar lol! Do you have plans for paneling the walls?

Re: Hangar Living + Garage + Shop Congrats on your hangar purchase! I’ll be in your area in June if you’re accepting visits from an automotive photographer!

Re: Former Heliport | Living + Studio + Garage While the weather was nice, I spent several hours with a machete and [hand] weed cutter attempting to clean up the west side of the property. Doing this by hand sure makes one miss all the tractors and PTO implements I used while growing up on a...

Utah997 will have to upgrade his photobucket account to allow 3rd party hosting.

Re: Hangar Living + Garage + Shop I’ve been obsessed with live/work spaces for as long as I remember! The larger building suits the needs for a rental studio much better. I intend for the 2nd level glass room to be used as a well air conditioned and heated space that’s a comfortable place for...

Re: Hangar Living + Garage + Shop FINALLY got some scaffolding but I’ve been too busy with other projects to get anything done! On a side note, I picked up a 19’ 1984 camper for the property and have about 4 weeks to make it livable—what have I got myself into? Lol! Sent from my iPhone...

Re: Hangar Living + Garage + Shop Well, honestly I have the absolute scariest extension ladder and have not been enthusiastic about hanging the lights lol! I’ve been hoping to acquire scaffolding but it’s been one dead end after another. Since they’re not hung yet I haven’t been able to...

Hangar Living + Garage + Shop Thanks for the heads up! I did think about it and was hoping the long side being parallel to the truss [ within 4”] would prevent much movement. The short wall, being perpendicular to the truss, is the one I’m more concerned about deflection. Do you have any...
