      Don't mean to be (too) intrusive, but I've wondered about shops like this and how oone might work for me, vs building a separate outbuilding. Of course, many are landlocked or ordinance prevented

      I’m retired now so I go there 3-5 days a week. It’s nice because I don’t “have to” go. I usually get there around 10-11 on the days I do go. I could stay as late as I wanted but usually head home after the afternoon commute dies down.



      I have hosted card games with buddies but most of them are still working and don’t like to come out and play on “school nights”. There would be no reason to spend the night as home is just 10 miles/15 minutes away. Plus it has no heat. Half of the loft space is my daughters storage area while her, her husband and son are in France for two years so it looks more “storage cave” than man cave at the moment.

      It is in a small industrial park. There are 28 units but some have been combined into larger units so there are only 15 owners. I’m the only non-business in the park and I just got on the board.
