RD....you got to paint or powdercoat those racks now before they go back in....how you gonna look at those rust buckets when you are building the DCB of man caves!!!...

The uprights are being powder coated black. The beams are being powder coated red.

It’s gonna match the rdp logos in the floors in both bays.

On the machine shop side I also put a toy syndicate logo in the floor.

LOL....I'd expect nothing less! .....love following the build...

I was gonna paint them myself, but I asked the powder coated next door if he could do something that large and he said no problem. Then he gave me the neighbor price and I told him have at it. Lol

It woulda have been more time and money to paint them myself and likely wouldn’t have come out as nice.

Are you going to peel up the stickers after epoxy or are you going just with a clear epoxy in that area?

Place looks awesome 😎

We are clear coating the floors.. no epoxy. The stickers are perforated to allow the clear coat to go through them and adhere.

Hey Dave….

I am going to a nautical flee market this weekend. I am thinking you could use some boat stands, just in case you need to take a boat off it’s trailer? Is there anything else you need? Text me your shop address and I will send you some stands at the very least. Merry Christmas! The place looks Great!

The place looks awesome, Dave. The only thing that would drive me nuts since I'm OCD is this:

Looking forward to seeing the powder coated racks.

I am gonna build a little wooden dolly for when I get my Daytona in there and I go through the trailer.

I don’t think we will ever take a boat off a trailer here.. (other than that Daytona). I’m not doing any fiberglass or paint work.

RD, I would like to rent for that price in Las vegas with high ceiling, nothing here less than $1.00 a foot. Most at $1.20+.

Who’s Chris?
I don’t really think we will be doing too many parties etc here. I am changing my garage over to pool tables and ping pong etc.

I will have merch on site at this location. Won’t be setup for a bit though and probably just men’s stuff. Be hard to stick all the designs we have.

Torrance has gone up 50% in last 2 years. Nothing available. Found 1 and was committed. 2200 sq ft $3500. Then they told me that is 6 months and it goes up to $4070.

Saw this post and thought it was cheap. But then heard triple net. I found another shop in Harbor City. $4500 a month then got the kicker $900 additional fees per month for triple net. $5400! It is still vacant.

It isn’t true triple net.. I’m not paying the taxes and a few other things.

That’s why I keep my 1,000 sq ft in newbury park. $1200 with a bathroom is too cheap to leave

I have a few friends with same deal in Torrance. If they leave it goes up to $1650-1850. And there is a waiting list. Commercial broker told me it's the craziest market in 31 years he's been in the business.

Internet goes in Thursday. Machines will
He wired this weekend and we will be pretty much setup by Wednesday of next week and I figure 100% setup week after. Getting desks and cabinets etc this week.

then the hard part begins. Using the equipment more and bringing in revenue
