My new tiny shop - Lateral-g Forums

Well, finally made the move out of California a couple months ago. Settled in Medford OR to be near family. Found a house with an awesome view and a shop. But going from 2700 s.f. of shops to 900 s.f. is quite an adjustment.

Left my lift, lathe, and misc large items with the new homeowner in Ca. as it was too hard to move. Will be purchasing another lift in the future, but I have time as my car is down in Sacto for paint/body work. Also planning on getting the floor coated when money permits. One good thing is this shop has 700 s.f,. above it for storage, which helps a ton.

First three pics are my new shop, the others are what I moved from in Wilton.

Family and cost of living. California has become too expensive for me, and unfortunately IMO it's going to get worse. The state is run by idiots lol.

Don't worry you not the only one. Florida is slowly out pricing the Floridians, Lots of Floridians moving to the Carolinas and Tennessee,

Housing prices, Insurance prices cars and housing, cost of living, there's a mass exodus leaving the state. might have slowed, a little now, I will say every time I look at my car insurance and homeowner's it's always moving up not down!!!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, the same reason every one leaving CA has.

hope you settle in quick, shame to have to have left some shop items. Moving is least of my favorite things to do. Best of luck at new address

Can't blame you for wanting to escape and having recently transplanted to a new State myself I feel your pain...

3/4s of what we moved from Missouri to AZ was my shop stuff, we left most of the house stuff behind. Even then I still left quite a bit of shop stuff behind as well. The real sucky part is buying it all back afterwards when you realize you still need it.
