So this is pretty much the opposite of the last option. It’s a kinda crappy, slightly smaller, bare metal shop. But, it’s private, on like 10 acres, and has a really cool vibe.

This is actually my landlord’s brother’s property. The main downsides is that it doesn’t have a bathroom, doesn’t have insulation, and the lot is gravel. The landlord says he’d be willing to build a bathroom/office and insulate it (which could be a cool process to film too). I’d also want to paint the inside/outside and possibly epoxy the floor.

This shop is definitely smaller than the other option, but it is a better layout. The property also isn’t as “nice”, no paved lot, old building, etc. But, I could essentially do whatever I want and I’d have plenty of storage for projects outside.

Thoughts? I feel like a lot has to happen to this place in 3 months for it to be ready to go so it’s tough to commit to. But, I do feel like the vibe here is better. Is that worth anything though? Idk.

Could do boat stuff there 🤷‍♂️

Might be cool to have an open bay design like that. Whichever one you go with im sure you'll make it good with just a bit of work, remember how ratty your current shop was when you got it.

I personally love all the shop content. I don't know how much engagement you get from those videos but this property might be worth it if you do. It looks like there is a lot of content opportunities with it.

Both of the places have their pros and cons. I think long term this one would be better with the extra space you’ve got outside, but the building does need some work. 3 months is enough time though I think and I’d be willing to come down and help you over a few weekends if you need some extra help. I’m not terribly far from you. Shoot me a message man. I’ve also got a semi truck and a lowboy that we could possibly use to move things with.

I would be worried about flooding with how close that river is

As soon as I saw the picture I thought the same thing: the vibe is intresting. Would the lake close the the property cause rust? If you get to expand it and make it better it's also content, but I feel the first option is a safer bet?

Pros, I like the space and I like the idea you have more than just a shop to work with. However, cons, the river and the mud that's on the driveway aren't gonna be the best in the rain while working in the shop. Especially in Hurricane/flood season.

THE MOSQUITOES PROBABLY GO CRAZY

Cool opportunity to branch out with some other projects, but do you want to be in an uninsulated shop in the Georgia heat?

Tom

What about flooding with all that water there?!

Alex

It’s definitely cooler, but it might make everything a mess during the rainy season both of these units, make sure the slab is thick enough to mount a lift

The vibe is cooler but not sure if the natural lighting is a bonus or if it would mess with camera lighting while filming . I feel like the property could be more personal but with water levels and being in the forest how are the bugs. It would be cool to see more outdoorsy projects but I know your more shop based. my heart says option 2 but #1 is more turn key and practical for fabrication

Daniel

This one

Yeah not sure about this one. If your landlord already kicked you out his brother might be a similar type of person. Is purchasing a shop out of the picture right now? Would be a shame to fix up someone else's place again

!izz Johnson

I vote this one. Immaculate vibe and lots of space.

This would be cool, you could split each bay into its own section, no need to pull cars in and out to move stuff for when you get a customer car coming in, but it'll be a lot of work. Plus if this is your current landlords brother, I would be worried about getting kicked out again

"he'd be willing to build a bathroom/office and insulate it" - no gaurentee unless you want to be the one to do the work and pay for materials. Would probably make for a decent youtube video though. Also septic and water? How would they feel about noise and bringing cars in and out?

Floods and bugs brother. get one that needs less work and allows you to get to work
