Newbie intro and shop pics

[recycler]

Hi all, my name is Brad Green. I live in Northwest Arkansas. I am almost done with my new shop building. It is 50 x 99' 6". I am building a center wall to seperate it into two units and working on the interior currently. I will rent out the half with street frontage and use the other half myself. This will be my ultimate playground and an investment. It is located in a new commercial center so it has to have paved parking , 15% masonry front etc. That is driving up the cost to build and making things more complex- handicap restrooms etc but it will be worth waaay more than I have in it and as long as I can keep half rented out it will pay for itself including taxes, insurance and some of my utilities.
I found this board from Ryan's other board- the HAMB on the jalopy journal. I will post some interior pics as it comes along. Thanks Brad

I'll post more soon. I have acid stained and sealed the floor in the half I'll be using and put up some wall around parts so I can hang shelves/tools etc. Did I mention that there is a Fastenal store next to me and a wholesale builder supply accross the street? Brad

Brad,

You could build airplanes in that sucker!

It's cool you're able to rent out some of the space, yet have plenty leftover for yourself without paying the bills. Very nice!
