This is gonna be a mega photo post. (I'd love to pay @Greg_STL to re-organize this whole thread)
From the latest post, the developer said the unit past city inspections, so basically I'm gonna start paying (property taxes, condo fees, utilities) from that point. Quickly got work site wrapped up/ asked for replacement guys to take my spot, etc... Bolted home today and officially took possession as the way it sits now.
With the exception of some touch up work, basically rest of the goodies/reno's would be on me.
Starting from the outside approaching the complex (Sorry, I've probably post front building pics before)
Front main entrance
They've fenced off the entire phase 1 units for privacy/security
Checking out the clubhouse
Then walked around phase 2 units
Into my unit
Glad I paid to install slot trench drain, instead of just a 3-4" drain hole
Main level bathroom
Laundry area, and make-up air vent (with standard units, this would be a stand up shower, and the make-up air vent would be on the outside wall)
CO2 sensor for make-up air
Emergency lights with that little green man logo added, there're also emergency lights in lower bathroom, and upper level; I'd think mostly to pass code more than a developer's touch.
Upstairs toilet closet and pocket door installed, they had to add an extra sprinkler head since it's an enclosed room
And I guess city made them install a sprinkler head inside the steam shower too
Went to the storage unit as soon as I could so my stuff don't end up on Storage Wars as I put in my 7 days termination notice as soon as I got developer possession email last week(ended up at storage place 4 months $175/month
that didn't worked out at all, should had just kept the stuff at home and did one move with professional movers)
Random shots
Last but not least for mentioning, I threw a random text to @55cadillacking, we ended up hanging out for a good 2-3 hours in this unfinished reno warehouse. But officially under my ownership, he'd be the very first guest in my unit.

I'm sure you know the feeling, our ideas probably change 50 times daily on designs/layout on what to do with our condos. For me, I'm aiming for a more simple look, everything is mobile (casters) more or less a floating work space, rather than being stuck with one certain setup. (except for the upstairs kitchen, that'll be permanent)
Sunday August 27, 2017
The site's fenced/locked up, so can't do anything in the unit today. Spent the day at home filling the truck.
Loaded up that A-frame engine crane, gives you a reference how small the home detached "triple" (the flipper built the smallest "triple")
Didn't want my **** stolen overnight parking on the street tonight, so tucked it in sideways, but gives you a reference with low ceiling (8') and size compared with the garage condo hobby warehouse.

I feel honoured to be your first guest in what is an amazing place. I can assure all followers of this thread, that this place is going to be one to keep your eye on. The innovative ideas that were shared with me, especially with the upstairs mezzanine, are incredible. Looking forward to a return visit, my friend.
Always happy to for good contributing GJ members.
August 28, 2017
Spent the whole day here setting up, more moving.
Got this tire rack setup
Then the existing industrial racks with casters. (just 1 left at the house, 4 total)
It's awesome how there's always guys on site, so wasn't hard to get a hand lifting the crane to upward position.
Hung out with other unit owners, some units really decked out hopefully they'll make their way on GJ. I'm going for more plain jane simple/empty warehouse look.

Working hard to get the house garage (stuff) moved into the warehouse... Almost there, all industrial racking at the warehouse... mom was mad I loaded the toolbox/toolchest without asking her for help. There's no way I'm asking a 60-ish, 5'2" little old lady to help me push a toolbox into the truck tho. Got it loaded myself some how, it was awesome picking it up at the store as they forklifted into the bed. I remembered it was tough getting it out too (without damaging).
Had to be extra careful since it's vinyl wrapped now.

Nice home garage but I do like your warehouse. Good to see you are getting things moved in. My place is a warehouse also and having like minded neighbors is nice.

I've been watching your warehouse improvements too shortykorte, quite the size you got there.
Got the tool cabinet in the warehouse.
Then snooped around the complex, hung around with the developer's trades and the developer being on site talking to owners moving in... Thought this was impressive. (organized)
Then went back to my own unit, used random scrape materials around site to build a plywood bench on one of those industrial racks.
Then based on the tile installer's recommendations, had to modify the bench a bit, as his professional opinion is, the size of the bench wouldn't make the overhead rain drop pleasurable. (i.e. good chance hitting your knees)

Despite our difference of opinion, this is turning out quite well, glad to see the next phase already started.
With the shrinkage of the bench, that might make any future steam shower meets more awkward though. jkjk
Went up to the garage warehouse today, started to paint the bathrooms (same color as the house bathroom; might as well save paint $$)
Reconnected with friends for lunch who live in this area of the city (North end), then wandered around the place... Came up with a nice short project, coat rack by the door lol. Everything in this pic was already "scrapes" around the house that I brought over: Random blank oak board, coat hangers, nuts/screws, white carbon fibre vinyl wrap (from the toolbox wrap; still have 50' worth at least, lol)
Hate being particular, everything had to be attempted to be centred, centred to the clean out cover (i.e. another sure way knowing where studs are), the coat hangers had to be evenly spaced, the fasteners had to be centered on the board, etc...
Tomorrow if I head up... going to finish painting the trims of the bathrooms (not really pics worthy), then I'm going to try building a jig to crane my truck canopy.
Come join, you might like the place.
Actually, the developer is hosting an invite only open house, clubhouse is done, and they've got a finished bay unit. Sept 14th. PM me your email if you're interested, they're aware of my thread here. And I'm not part of any sales commission whatsoever.

Was playing around with the crane last night to make a truck canopy pull... but the length on the chain hoist is going to be a problem.
Returned the chain hoist this morning, gonna have to figure something else out. Maybe get rid of the crane completely, and just build a simple rack on casters.

Just get an electric hoist to put on there? Or go to a chain fall with the ratchet like this one?

You read my mind... returned chain hoist $99.99... to spend $199.99 on an electric hoist, lol just happens to be on sale. Problem is, during my previous research, trolley needs to be double bolt and not single bolt in order to mount the electric hoist. Either way, it's just cool to have (laying around, lol)

Been pretty relaxing doing bits and pieces here and there.
They're paving phase 2 driveway, the trades are happy to see that, instead of the gravel lane to 6-8" curb they've been trying to haul carts/scissor lifts to during phase 1.
The builder's so cool, even though I've taken full possession, I still insisted they keep an access code. (i.e. it's one of those digital keypad handles, I'll take a pic next time)... I get upstairs, and they've finished up installing the lock/latch for my upper toilet pocket door. (when I took possession, I thought they weren't gonna put hardware to it, since it'd kind of elective, not part of spec; but who knows maybe I did pay for it with my lease hold improvement charges)
Which is great timing, so I was able to cancel my order for this latch from Lowes right away.
Did some painting upstairs, just recycling the paint that's been laying around the house.
As for the kitchen cabinets / bar area, I'm going with a no-frills concept. Sticking with the industrial theme and not gonna blow $3,000-7,000 on proper kitchen materials. Picked up two of these racks for few hundred bucks.
So just going to double stack them, (will grab) a discount sink counter top from that Ikea odds and ends scavenger area. Get a mini side by side fridge/freezer (will sit in the left section)
The crew usually stops work around 4:30-5pm, developer around 6pm... It's so peaceful when you're there by yourself lol. To be fair I usually start my day there 9:30-10:30am (and not 6am like some of the trades), but I do put in a good day's work hanging out till 7-9pm sometimes.
Exterior night lights powered up.

Been dreadddddingg removing this old heavy tv from the garage (by myself). Plus the fact trying to operate with minimum/skeleton tools at home now.
Maybe drivesitfar can give some insights, I wonder if filling these holes and repaint would even effect the selling price (of the house)? Or am I just wasting time, sales result will be the same regardless to a buyer? I'm guessing in the realtor world there's got to be a formula (size of hole, amount of holes being acceptable or require full repair)

Quite a bit going on within this post.
Basically there's always something to do if one wants to keep busy... Filling the garage TV drywall holes, as well as the basement wall TV.
Hopefully this will win me some brownie points when needed, the developer called me last night asking if my unit was full (of cars, etc.), because they wanna tuck some of their sales material in my bay while they're doing clubhouse and show unit's proxy flooring. As they're having an open house event tomorrow.
Since it's in my bay, figure I'm at least allow to power up their sign. (from what I gather, the building won't have any names shown from the outside once it's fully occupied, this is only part of the sales material; at least that's to my understanding to the lure/attraction of signing on board this development)
Developer's show unit (For Sale), getting re-proxy (some touch ups those garage flooring companies had to do)
Into my unit... it was a multi tasking day. Got my selected tile guy company I wanted starting (upstairs), so while they were doing that, hung the old heavy *** 2010 style garage TV. Currently, "WE" (the development) can't even get cable, internet, fibre-optics into this whole industrial community. So TV is pretty much cosmetic, lol. But it's definitely staying in the property when I sell it (unless buyer wants it removed), not really worth re-sale value, don't want it on next project/too lazy to remove/want something newer on next property, kinda a waste to trash it, modern world problems.
Onto upstairs. The developer's plumber was on top of things, got the shower drain exactly how the tile guys wanted and way ahead of schedule.
Selecting my choices, I'm just on a "wing-it" method and not paying for any fancy designers on colors or patterns... so fingers cross it'll be neutral to the masses and smooth to resell the property when I move onto the next commercial project (lol, already working on it/talking with commercial realtor, since this garage condo is classified as commercial zone, so not be too far fetch to step BACK into a proper open for business/section off office for storage type of property 2-3 years down the road, but not looking forward for that transition neither )
Tile guys setting up
Tile guys prepping, installing the niche (shampoo bottles).. the shower bench changing for the third and final setup. I really like the "resume" these tile guys had, everything sealed (at least each step explained to me as a joe-blow consumer/DIY non-pro), they even cut the bottom of the wall-board, so their poly liner can tuck 8-10" up secured to the framing, then wall-board re-installed so now it'll act like a pan in case of a drainage clog or flood so it won't wreck your the lower part.
The drawback, when I was shutting down. I noticed a blop of that pink water sealant "paint" on the pony rail wall... the OCD tempts me to fix it (sand it, paint it white), or do I treat it as some Joker like chaotic art design which enhances your visual walking up the stairs? Maybe some real hipster baller trust fund millennial will pay me triple within the year for it simplicity.

Tom: I haven't had or made time to log on to GJ for a couple months, but saw your post that you are still waiting for closing and maybe getting ready to sell your home.
I know you are busy so if you don't have time to stage your home then pay somebody to and spiff up the little things. if you can leave in some nice furniture and a few items until it sells even better. STREET APPEAL is one thing to address if you haven't already, but that is only to get them inside and once they are inside and notice that all the little things have been taken care of then they start thinking more about buying that WHO AM I GOING TO GET TO FIX THAT or HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST SO I CAN MAKE AN OFFER FOR LESS TO PAY FOR IT.
anyway all markets are different so get advice from a few local pros if you know of any.
best of luck with the search for your CONDO or have you already found it and i just missed seeing that post when i read back a bit?
cheers

drivesitfar Thanks for the advance, I guess I'll just do the best I can to upkeep the house (I bought it already "reno'ed flipped" in 2013, but of course now it's endured 4 years of light usage)
To be fair, imo buyers will always find excuses to find unreasonable flaws for discount. I believe I should still be able to get break even from the 2013 purchase, but worse comes to worse, ride it out with current house and the garage condo.
Yeah, got a partial apartment complex in mind, downtown within our city, it's a combination of added new construction phases being completed by builder as well as the original phases 2012 built owners starting to sell too. So there'll be a good flow of choices within these 12-24 months for that particular complex.
Went up to garage condo today... Started playing around with scrape materials and hoarded hardware that I kept moving with from place to place, my goal with garage condo is to try using up as much of these spare parts as possible, so I'm not moving it to the next property.
Started with some spare conduit the garage condo contractors threw out, with some 3/8" threaded rods from the last shop I sold 7-8 years ago, lol
Wonder if anyone can guess what this would be...
Not my choice of color, but polished off this aerosol can that's been in our household probably for a good 10 years, lol.
Any guesses?
It's just a pail dolly, hopefully these aren't a cheap product at those Harbor Freight/Princess Auto type of stores. I only know of detailing supply places selling them at $49.99+. It's not the nicest, but completely free from scrapes or old parts and a bit of hang out time.
I guess just completely killing time at the warehouse... left there around 9:30pm.. Clubhouse all lit up.

Didn't go up to warehouse today... but tile guys sent me these, 1st stage shower pan "dry pack" (hope I'm not butchering the term)
There's a 15% part of me having buyer's remorse on the steam shower, instead of just taken the developer's included basic stand up shower insert in the main floor bathroom. I guess it falls within one of those "oh well, too late"

Basement and Garage (house) TV mounting holes filled and repainted (just the patch of it, I know the "sheen/shine" isn't 110% exact same)
I know it might not mean a lot to some, but doing these touch ups ***** the life outta me, just takes so much time (waiting for filler to dry, sand, re-filler, prime, get a full can of paint, wash rollers, etc...)

Tom: those sort of jobs **** the life out of a lot of us, but if you are selling even if you don't get a full price offer you'll still get it sold before other homes that don't do the little things.
first time you turn on that steam shower after a hard day in your shop i know you will then enjoy the time and money you spent to have it.
on another note it might be fun with another person in there with you if you know what i mean and then i KNOW IT WAS MONEY WELL SPENT!!!
cheers and have a great weekend.

Tile guys removed form for shower curb, but still waiting on dry-pack to dry (I think they've mentioned they'll seal it (maybe with that pink paint as well) )
I like how "old school"? these tile guys are, because the way the drain had to sit tight to the wall (on the main level ceiling, it's just above tucked inside the crawl space), that those Schluter pre-form systems wouldn't work for my application.
Reason for the little oil space heater, is because the bay's furnace isn't working for some reason. I think the builder shut off the gas, and I guess I've never ever called the gas company to activate gas under my name, lol... I need to get on that soon, I'm sure our cold spell is coming around the corner.
Built some more "mini projects" (i.e. 1-5 hours), plus all recycled stuff, so cost is just labour of love I suppose.

Tom: thanks for the tile pics cause i didn't know that sort of spacers existed. the X shaped ones seem to get mortared in and are a pain in the **** to get out so i'll have to find some like those your guy's are using for my next tile job.
have they set a closing date yet or still floating it until your unit it finished? or did i miss the post saying you are now the owner and all the ongoing work is on your tab?

They are actually tile levelers. like
You can use them as spacers if you want a small grout line...if you want larger spacing you usually need more of the normal spacers as well.
OP...The Space Looks amazing!!!
