JMortensen Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 How much land did you buy? What's the story there? Sounds like congratulations rather than condolences are in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 almost 2 acers.. looking into homes right now, i dont like anything big but something around 2300sqft, 2 bedroom and a den/media room. and most of all a 30x30 shop with a lift mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Nice dude! Definitely time for congratulations! I've been looking at buying land and building as well. Found some lots that are 5 and others that are 35 acres. Question for me is how hard is it to stay on top of 35 acres maintenance-wise? Seems like my new hobby would be brush clearing, and that doesn't sound too fun... Anyway, I'd be real interested to hear all about it, getting permits, costs for the house and the shop, etc. One thought I had was to get a modular home and put that up, then build the house later. Kinda means doing it twice, but maybe since you have 2 acres you could put the houses as far apart as possible and rent the other one out. Just a thought.

olie05 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Dude thats awesome! My dream is to open up a shop where me and my friends can work on our cars, and I would definitely sell my Z to obtain that dream. congrats, you made a wise decision. (maybe the hulk will finally be completed? lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 looked into the shop already.. before the lot lol. 12 foot high, 30x40, water and setup for 220v for whatever i wanna us in there, walls strong enough for any type of storm florida might get, 1 large garage door on the front and a small garage door on the side. no bathroom which i want but i can just piss on the side of the shop lol. all said and done was 37K out the door, but i was thinking maybe 12 foot high wasnt high enough.. what ya think? i dont need 30x40.. 30x30 would be fine and i only need one garage door. so im gonna talk to the builder again and see what kinda numbers he pulls out of his A$$ this time. no clue on the house, im gonna talk to my mom about that. i start my real job once i get back to florida after this Z build were doing here in houston. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z0wner Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 though I haven't used this company... I wanted to show you an example a steel house would be pretty cool, I always thought http://www.heritagebuildings.com/steel_homes/augusta/index.asp Check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wigenOut-S30 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Mike, thats a great move.. sorry to see the blue Z go but like you said you still have your green one. Now the question.. did you buy land in Texas? Florida? or somewhere else? good luck with everything dude. Gabe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 bought it in florida, but its still a good chance ill move back to texas. i like it both places, and land prices will only go up. but ya the lot is nice, plus its right off a street that i use to street race at long ago, nice and straight.... no cops no nothing just fast! so testing and tuning would be baller. ZOwner.. steel houses.. i gotta show my parents that, seems cool! garages were cool too! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUSHER Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 http://www.heritagebuildings.com/steel_homes/augusta/index.asp I'll take the 'aspen 1' please. 61k, I'm missing something right? Does it come with a floor? Or do I have to buy every light, sink, stove, switch seperately? Forgive me for being young and stupid, never looked into something like this before. edit: starting to see some assembly may be required..... edit2: The new editing system is hot...

Mike C Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Once you have a shop, you can really knock out some projects! Oh, and the house? 1800 sq ft is more than enough and 40 x 60 on the shop! Trust me, you can have too much house, but NEVER too much garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 they said they would build a 60x60 shop thats 18 foot high, bath room and apartment up top viewing the whole shop with another little office underneath the room for around 50K.. not bad i think.. can fit 4 or more lifts in that sucker mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest l28et Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I saw that and was like whaa? I want it. Too bad I dont have 8K. Would throw it down in a heartbeat for such a cool car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Don't worry Mike I've been there too bro. Cars can ALWAYS be bought and sold...but this is a step towards your future and building equity..you know those things that would make your mum and dad proud. Good luck with the sale...for $8K you're giving away that car...good luck on the sale and all future endeavours. Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 For questions on building garages and shops, this place is stellar! It is the HybridZ of the garage world. Lots of really nice guys over there! http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdmz Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 My garage is 30 x 36 and I could use more space. Go as bid as you can - space disapears real fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bastaad525 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 *welcomes Mike to the club* Sorry to hear it dude... I hope you have better luck getting your asking price than I did (started asking 6k ended up getting 4). Your's is quite a bit nicer, but honestly I think it was just a bad time for me to even try to sell. At least you have another Z just waiting in the wings, anyways. Wish I were in a position to buy another one already... hell it'd make one hell of a good excuse to fly down to FL for a weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 ya i no im giving it away, but i put 8K and thats what ill take. i really want more but im doubting if anybody would pay that. i really dont have any bad parts at all on the car, it needs some work just like any Z and man ill miss it. if it doesnt sell anytime soon ill keep it and just figure out away to make some extra cash. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bastaad525 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 what's the fuel pressure problem, anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Pretty sure its a going out fuel pump. everything else in the system is new and or replaced. i would just buy a new pump but with this whole build here in Houston i dont have any cash at all. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
