That six months saved us $100k and I finally got a garage - as a bonus it came with a really cool house. Six months later our offer was accepted and we closed last week. We made a low offer as a backup and kept looking. But I really love Portland.Īfter months and months of looking for a nice mid-century house we found a great Saul Zaik designed place as a short sale. That sucked.Ī year ago I moved to Portland, OR after 18 years of trying to leave NYC - having two kids was finally the thing that made it happen and Portland was chosen because my wife was from here and I would have been happy anywhere west of I-25. It was also in NJ and I had to cross a bridge, downtown NYC and a tunnel to get there and then pay a $13 toll to get home. 3 CNC's, 4 lathes, 3 mills, a paintbooth and our own dyno. 10,000sqft of machining and motorcycle bliss. We started in a small room in the basement of a building on 15th Street next to the boiler and over the last 15 years kept getting kicked out of spaces until we ended up in Spannerland in NJ. My life in NYC when I raced with Team Incomplete. One featured in magazines and even the book "Motorcycle Dream Garages" but that is my old life. Now, before you shed a tear for me I have had a shop - a nice one actually. I've never had a garage before so I'm very excited. This thread will serve as the home to my garage makeover. At the end of this post I'm going to start an index so that finding information here is easier. That at this point is pretty hard to find. Due to the enthusiasm and support here it's become a compendium of interesting and maybe useful information. It's just a story of the journey of getting a house and my first garage. NOTE: I never had any idea this thread would become so popular and so there's no plan to the way it unfolds.
