Re: What your workstation looks like?
I suppose price is all relative.
Don't know what prices are like in the US but a terraced house like the one below with living room, dining room and 2 bedrooms, all 10' x 12', a kitchen and bathroom at 6' x 8' and a yard around 12' x 10' will cost at least $250,000 anywhere in the UK, in the south it costs at least $500,000. A house this size in a desirable part of London can set you back $1,000,000.
A semi detached house like mine around the same size as the one above but with enough space out back for a garage and a garden 25' x 15' costs at least $450,000 in the north of the UK, $700,000 in the south.
I know someone who was pricing up renting warehouse space to run an indoor off road track like there are in the US. His quotes for rent of a space big enough for a track came out at $100,000 a year, which is why the few permanent tracks we have are on odd scraps of land, mainly local council owned.

Re: What your workstation looks like?
Yeah, that is pretty high, but I think Jim, or anyone in Cali, will take the cake on this one. The west coast is just insane.
Re: What your workstation looks like?
I live just outside London, the costs are the second most expensive in the world, apparently on the south cost they are most expensive in the world!! 
Lucky my partner works in housing!!!

Re: What your workstation looks like?
Here where Ahhnold lives, it's pretty insane, though now that the market has collapsed, things will right themselves here very very soon. I was looking for a few investment properties at the first of the year and absolute dog piles, we're talking match and gasoline type structures, were in the $300,000's.mrlexan wrote:Yeah, that is pretty high, but I think Jim, or anyone in Cali, will take the cake on this one.

We didn't find anything worthy of the investment, and here it is 8 months later and many of those very same properties are still on the market and worth considerably less than when we found them in January. Over the next few years, anyone with a little cash will be able to pick up some very sweet deals and turn them for some serious coin. The market will rebound in about 8 to 12 years, as is the typical cycle of real estate.

Re: What your workstation looks like?
I got lucky on hobby space. I just moved into a new place last weekend and it has a 2 1/2 car garage. Don't ask me what a 1/2 car looks like, I don't know
. But I told the wife under no terms was she or the kids to enter my 8x13 man area without my permission. Once I get it all set up, I'll snap some picks.

He's an idiot. Comes from upbringing. His parents are probably idiots too.
