So I’m scrolling Facebook Market place this morning while sipping my coffee. In the next town over a guy is cleaning out his shop & selling stuff. A 10 x 3 heavy duty shelf caught my eye. I sent him a msg. Cut to the chase & im at his place picking it up around 6. Delightful gentleman in his 60’s. He said he was selling everything & retiring & moving back home. He showed me around & he has a couple old Studebaker. Bunch of square fender Chevy pick ups that are projects. Couple 90’s Jags. He said after he sells everything he’s selling the property which included an old 3 bay Fire Station with living quarters. Behind that was a 48x40 fairly new metal shop that was wired, insulated & strung with plenty of flourence lights. Nice concrete slab. And to the right of that was a 1500 square foot older house that had been completely modernized & updated. All on 2 acres with 3 storage buildings that looked good. I got to tell ya. I loved it. Thinking about it as I’m not liking the sub division in my back yard. I’m not really into firetrucks & Fire stations but the building could be remodeled to look like a 60’s era garrage. Put a couple vintage cars in it. The shop out back would be perfect for the race cars & a work shop. And the house just 20-30 yards away. He’s not sure on a price. The place was on the main hwy about 7/8 miles north of town. The town is big enough to have many of the stores one would want nearby & even has a hospital although I hear they lack modern equipment. I have been selling a lot of my stuff with more to come as I expect a change in the near future. So I’ll have something to kick around this winter.
