lamest car collection ever!

The House (& Underground Garage) is in Lake Tahoe. The House was Sold a couple years ago. The Guy had a big collection of cars that aren't in the Video and they were all sold as well. It was a wierd collection though with a lot of the same cars with the plastic still on the seats - as I remember, a bunch of the Ford T-Birds from 10 years ago, Plymouth Prowlers, etc

If that's the case.... Then I'll second "the lamest car collection ever"!! LoL!

Actually --- I think I'm going to buy this commercial building. 5250 square feet - TWO 16' high doors - 60' feet deep - built out second floor office (man cave) space. Gas heaters in the ceiling.... bath rooms... floor drains... all for about $74 a square foot. It's a 20 minute drive from my house... but driving in Idaho ain't the same as driving in L A or Seattle.

Must be.....

20 minutes. nothing closer?

There's closer --- but it's also triple the money. And the streets in Ketchum are Old and small... and Ketchum (Sun Valley) really isn't an "industrial" kind of town if you know what I mean. I need a building with some unusually large doors... and ceilings. So that right there is pretty limiting.


A tiny as in teeny lot here in Ketchum is 600K plus -- bare lot... and then it wouldn't be big enough for what I need -- nor could I back the big azz POS inside.

Trust me -- I know what I'm doing and what's around and what I need... if I could do it - it'd already be done!

Sounds like a good buy for the area.

Stuart -- the area is actually pretty depressed. This is a very transitory area -- lots of people with huge money - but they don't live here. They come and party and eat and ski --- and then go back to LA or wherever their main house is. There were TONS of mega mansions being built here for a long time --- and that supported a lot of hammers and cabinet makers and custom this and that.... now --- only a few of those are still around (the very best managed to hang in there)... and there's a lot of low level 'light industrial' buildings around in the Hailey and Bellevue area... most of which are just not suitable - or big enough - or.... And some are just way bigger than anything I need. So it's kinda like the Three Bears. Too big -- Too small...

There's another building I looked at a year or so ago -- 4 minutes closer -- with 4 HUGE doors -- that's a "bus" building (current occupant). It would need more work to make it something I'd want to have anything to do with.... and more importantly -- it has a 10,000 gallon diesel tank underground (and a pump)... and I don't want anything to do with that liability. The seller would have to remove it and get all manor of certificates that all is okay.

Your money clip should be a nice economy boost!!!

Underground storage tanks... The scourge of commercial buildings in this day and age...

I like that other building Greg, looks like it's in real good shape. Hows the roof? What kind of business used to be in it?

My entire net worth is less than half the houses around here! LOL

Well, Lance -- there's a plywood sheet over the 3'X3' square hole in the roof where the sawdust vent machine used to be. It was a high end furniture shop. And the building was left unheated and the pipes froze... They have since been repaired. Some of the electrical was just "ripped" out of or off the walls... you know what it's like when someone just moves and leaves the building to the bank. It would cost me some bucks to rehab. Not huge - but I'd have to get an electrician in there --- and I'd have to figure out how to permanently fix the roof.

Both big roll ups would need to be replaced -- they're beat and worn out... plus I don't like 'em. LOL

This is located in a small commercial area just south of the huge airport (joking about the size). It's kind of trashy for my personal tastes -- I'd like something a little more upscale - but that's not to be found around here. There is a vacant lot directly behind this building that's address is the other street -- the lot is actually pretty cheap - and I might just try to buy that as well. I could punch another door out that backside and have myself a drive thru operation!! Would be slick with the rig! Plus it would give me parking space for a normal car hauler which I think I'd like to add to the mix. I could do all of this for less than HALF the cost of nothing but the excavation bid on the home shop. Seriously!

You guys could all get together and buy Steve McQueen's old place.....

Yeah the wife and I looked at ol Steve's place but couldn't get excited about the Lincoln log look.




Rich peoples problems

2K per sq foot. Bajeezus!!!

Its great living thru you big guy.

Your pool is WAY bigger....











Oh yeah.... Oh trust me... that's not even an expensive place. Beverly Hills might be cheaper! The real doosies aren't even listed - they're sold on the hush from the hip pocket.

The family used to visit Jackson Hole every summer for a week, I thought that was pricey real estate, woof!!

Best part was the Arnold and his bride showed up at Bubbas ribs and had to sign the waiting list like everybody else. Oh the look on her face. Priceless. Loved it.

I love the outside look of the place, you don't see an actual lawn around a log "cabin" very often. Not too keen on the vibe inside the home though.

I see him skiing once in awhile -- he always has an instructor with him so he can cut the line.

I absolutely L O V E Jackson Hole area. We'll be down there in March some time. Gwen's old boss from New York City settled there. They have a fantastic home with a big natural pond in back... Last time we were there a Mommy Mouse and her baby came in the yard. Mom watched us watching her... and baby Mousy swam in the pond. It was so cool!

By the way -- who stays friends with their boss from 1977....

I could have sworn someone suggested this idea a week or so ago.... :headscratch:

:D :D :D

Jeff-

I've been looking at buildings for a year or so... as a back up plan. But all along I've been told "no problemo"... Well yeah.. they were right - it's not a problem at all... as long as I'm willing to pay $350 a square foot for 4700 square feet of shop space. I must have forgotten to tell them I used to live in New York City - and that I could build a shop there cheaper!

The good news is I can buy a larger space for 1/4 the cost... and I'd even have room for your car Jeff!

It's a beautiful parcel... But I agree with you... the whole "log cabin" look is really dated. They're not building that style of stuff here anymore. Now it's more "Sun Valley Lodge" look... big square timbers... Montana Mossy Rock for the stone... over the river rock look... and generally a more sophisticated look all around. Still Mountain Lodge... but just not big "cabin" look and feel. The people that built super contemporary over here can't give them away. People don't seem to want a Los Angeles Cliff hanger when they come to the mountains..

I'm shocked you are wussing out on the big garage. A real man would shrink the house down to a double wide and then he would have room on the lot for a garage.:hitaxeonthehead:

I forwarded this post to Gwen....


The good news for you? We just bought the condo next door and above you. Did I mention she's a "heavy walker"? The 9 year old boys (all 6 of them) are going to love that pool... I bought them all giant squirt guns - you know - the kind that shoot 200 feet.

She can walk all she wants as the entire building is 6" concrete and with sheetrock on top of it.

Thats funny

Dated log cabin or not, I love it. That Gulf sign on the garage has gotta be worth a few bucks a foot.

What big guy? Rodger lives in Bako and his lama drinks from the swimming pool.

Ouch!

Nobody brags publicly about blockin yer textin train DG ( twice btw), and gets away with it, huh?


:tv_happy:

I'm thinkin' that's a beautiful place no matter how you look it.

I like the idea of your shop purchase there Greg. It would be nice to step right out of your house into the shop but at some point you've got to draw a line and make sound decisions and at that price I'd purchase elsewhere also. Looks like an awesome shop/mancave.

Until he (DG) can limp home in something other than a million mile used cop car... Im not worried about what he says. He'll become a force to be reckoned with IF (HUGE IF) BMF ever -- as in E - V - E - R -- gets on the track. :D

I made an offer on a commercial building in Hailey, Idaho this morning. It would give me TWO 16' high shop doors --- the building is 68' deep -- and my rig is 65'... it's 5250 square feet. Needs some TLC -- but I met with contractors there this morning to give me estimates to fix 'er all up good as new.

I didn't want to have it this way -- but I could buy 4 buildings like this for what the shop under the house was going to cost. I'll pull up the big boy britches and just make something else work is all there is to it.

at least you don't have far to pull.

HUH???

Your britches silly. :action-smiley-027:

I have a strong suspicion this "fixer upper" is going to be envied by all on here by the time you are done!


Jeff-

I don't have very far to bend over to give ol' Charley the stink eye!



LOL

the building is 68' deep -- and my rig is 65'

Don't put on any weight or you will never be able to walk in front of it.:sarcasm_smiley:
