A little update on this: A week ago I was pulling out hair thinking I was going to go in debt over this thing, only a few people had contacted me about it and none of them had paid… Today I had to turn down three people because I only have 5 spaces to store cars. Already I can work out the numbers and establish the fact that a garage with more access would be ideal, a 2nd or 3rd garage door would maximize “profits” With The Shop the way it is now I had to bring the prices of the storage spaces to $150 from my original $100 estimate and really push to get the “workspace” people who just need access to the building and will only leave tools and such. To make rent I need a minimum of 4 of those people even iff all the storage spaces are full. ---

That is still a fair asking price, a lot of places charge near that for just storage. Devil however is in the details, this will all come together slowly but surely. Good luck Mike! ---

You definitely should! You can talk to Singh to develop a website for it as well, to help people understand exactly what you’re doing without having to explain it _every time_. Plus helps in getting the word out. ---

Right now I’m just using that facebook page. I finally snapped some pictures. you can see the spot to the left of the civic has been filled by one guy’s stuff but he hasn’t been able to bring his car in to do the teardown he’s planning. The spot to the far left is gonna be for a 11s neon with a blown head gasket whenever he can get it towed in. I have 3 workbenches setup and the little backroom is starting to fill up with plenty of parts. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Mafdark/DSCN1920.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/5/f/5fb870dcfa2bc1151872bc6ad61016a707f94105.jpeg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Mafdark/DSCN1921.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/4/6/4631a0d21bc76dcc3cf52a65d775d2922f8d326f.jpeg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Mafdark/DSCN1922.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/c/d/cd6028be2029183026d602bcd466085928300e8f.jpeg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v638/Mafdark/DSCN1923.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/0/5/052716ab4649a7405bf2a4a3da4b1eb75c80c581.jpeg) ---

All the spaces are filled up for March. That civic there is just getting a new clutch put in so they paid extra to be in for 1 month only. That means the adverts. will be back up around my campus soon to try to get someone to fill it. We also have 3 people doing the “workspace” thing and just leaving stuff like wheels, tires, jacks and jackstands there. Hopefully I can get two more of them for next month. ---

Too early to tell about the summer really… Ideally I would like to get the tires cleared out of the sidebay and have more people use that for actual work/storage space. I’ll keep in touch and let you know about when spots will be opening. ---
