Arfur Dealy 823 Posted July 19, 2018 1 hour ago, have a word with the wife said: bloody hell ! how much you spent ? LOL £320, I'm just doing the bit I photo on, not the whole unit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EPV 631 Posted July 19, 2018 The aim is to have a unit that can take 12 cars with parking for 3 outside and enough room by the roller shutter to do the dry valet tasks inside. I reckon it would be easier to find a needle in a haystack but we can dream Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That area is solely for pictures with all year round continuity I’m fortunate I can store 20 cars inside, but I certainly don’t want to pay to cover that area with epoxy. It’s just a storage I’m gonna work of my offices next.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whats next, false ceiling for the studio sir......like it, feel it, love that camera baby Looks great, nice looking and very useful unit you have there. Out of interest and do tell me to 'do one' if you wish, but how big and how much? ...PM me if you want to make me bad ref' SE prices It’s 3389 ft’’ Squared, rent is 13k no VAT and it’s under the rateable value.

That's a bargain Simon and I have to say I am a little envious - MOT on your doorstep (presume you use the one on your estate). Cracking little unit, plenty of lighting (I know you fitted it) and a nice office/loo? Do you meet your customers at the unit now or at home or both? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pikey stock and turned up at the house rucking at 9pm on a hot summers Friday night, totally unannounced, I'd had a couple of sherberts, it got heated....not a good memory, my wife has never forgiven me Agreed, I have had a few nasty experiences at home over the years, a few rucks with punters and neighbours with Police involvement....I'm not a fighter but I stand my ground.... Anyways the sherberts can change a man, easily done..... I also think a premises gives you more power, its your domain, your pad, you don't feel like a doorstopper..... I have nothing against doorstoppers, becuae I am simply a doorstopper through and through who just has a unit..... If you are the sort of bloke who likes a shed (I'm not).... But, I do like my unit, so if you are a shed man, get a unit...... a shed mans Heaven..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
