    How do I start over on this floor?

    How do I start over on this floor?

    A local club affiliated with the Hell's Angels. The neighbors shared a few -interesting- stories. Not your typical bankers and real estate agents playing Harley leather dress-up on the weekend.

    How do I start over on this floor?

    Hobby shop for hotrods and general foolishness. I also have three Triumph TR3s that are disassembled. I might start parting them out as a side business.

    How do I start over on this floor?

    The new-to-me workshop was being used as a clubhouse for a motorcycle club, so the bar goes of course. But how do I start over on the floor (it's not tile)? That stairway will be removed as well, so . . .

    This is the upstairs kitchen/office area, about 750 sq. ft. The ground floor looking towards the back. This used to be a motorcycle club clubhouse. Here's looking toward the front door. This is the "secret" gambling room on the second floor, only reachable by a staircase in the back.

    The old shop is sold and I've moved everything into 6 storage units. The lifts have been dismantled and stored. The cars have been moved to storage; on e was sold. I sold one of the lathes, the 360 MOPAR engine and the 454 BBC. I purchased a new place just a few miles down the road that should...

    Finally closed on March 14th. The contract allows me to stay until 60 days after closing to move things, but the buyer wants me out sooner (didn't bother to read the contract, I assume) or they will lose their tenant. They are now willing to pay for a professional mover under my supervision and...

    Just to update my discussion of the sale of my workshop, it appears that the buyers have agreed to all my requests and a closing is set for mid-february and I have 45 days after closing to remove my things. The problem is that I no have nowhere to keep my things, at least nowhere within a...

    I tried, but no go. I see no point in earnest money that is refundable on a whim. UPDATE: I spoke with my agent and told him that since they were asking for extra time, they should pay -something- and I wanted them to have some skin in the game to discourage frivolous offers. He agreed, bu...

    I instructed my agent to remove any language regarding any assignment. I also specified that all cabinets, shelves, car lifts and workbenches would not convey and that I had 45 days after closing to remove my personal property. Let's see how things go.

    Once again, a proposed sale of the build has fallen through. Essentially what has been happening is that they make a full price offer and wait until the end of the due diligence period to find fault with the building (faults that have been pointed out and discussed openly with them) and then...

    New addition to the shop, a 1971-vintage Craftsman toolbox made by Waterloo. A little cleanup and it's good to go. I'm just on the lookout for a replacement badge for the top box. Also, a few clips were missing from the slides; easily sourced from eBay as was the badge. Anti-rust drawer liner...

    Toolbox Needs a Handle

    I have this vintage toolbox in desperate need of a handle (although the "replacement" is pretty clever and functional). Also, any ideas as to the manufacturer?
