Building a new shop.
« on: November 11, 2010, 06:04:13 AM »
It's been a long time in coming.
I've been working with so little space for so long that having a shop will seem strange.
I started this project 5 years ago when I bought the property.
Since then it has been one delay after another.
Despite all odds, I received the permits last week (turns out they were 14,000 more than originally quoted from a local government employee) and we are just starting construction.
I'll post updates as we progress.

$14,000 plus in fees alone? OUCH! :-o
Projects like this are a long, tough fight. The end result is well worth all the grief.

Yeah, the permits were over 20K.
That was 20% of the construction cost.
I'm not sure what jobs the city is trying to create but if it's to support their own jobs then who am I to question their high fees  :-D

 :-D Congrats Mano!
    Keep shooting us those pics, great inspiration for us a tad less likely to be able to get set up like this.
 What kind of goodies do you have planned to fill the shop with?

This style of building is a pole building.
The floor is poured after the outer structure is built.
Our website is www.oem-cycle.com
If anyone needs anything from me, don't buy until you send me an email and let me know who you are and how you found me and what you need.
There has been so much good advice given to me on this site, I feel it's the least I can do to help some of you out.
Since I deal with so many people every day and have two other employees, don't assume I can remember you or that you are talking with me  :-D

 Hey Blaster,
 That's a very Kind offer!  Thank You, uh Thank you vrry much... (Best Elvis impersonation)

  I hope you get swamped!
 
 But seriously.. with the way things are going economically, you should continue to do well as lot's of us are keeping our bikes longer, and restoring & or racing vintage bikes seems (to me anyway) to have picked up considerably in the last few years.
