We need a place where we can go and work on these projects in an environment that stimulates creativity and motivation. The shop will provide a work area, resources, and knowledge to help people with their projects.
Contents
[hide]Brainstorm!
Possible means of obtaining said shop:
- Become a for-profit "professional" Make Shop. See: http://www.techshop.ws/
- Become non-profit organization and find projects that are a good source of income to pay for the shop.
Locations
- flagr.com map of location scouting: http://www.flagr.com/maps/makeshophsv
- Place Off of Leeman Ferry
- Bill Skeets (Commercial Real Estate), He was recommended by a guy at work. So drop Glen Westrich's name.
- (256) 650-0628 (brimstone personally knows Tommy Battle, let him try talking this up)
- (256) 527-4103
- $1200(rent) + ~$200(utilities) = $1400/month
- Bill Skeets (Commercial Real Estate), He was recommended by a guy at work. So drop Glen Westrich's name.
- $700 / 2700ft² - Commercial Building on 1 Acre Lot
- $350 / 400ft² - Office Style
Progress
- 06/06/2007: Opticron's mother is a real estate agent and is asking her contact for info on something that's sub-$1000 a month with 1K+ sq ft.
- 06/28/2007: Sent an e-mail to the LUNA mailing list explaining who we are and asking the locals if they had or knew of any space they'd be willing to donate or cheaply rent for our cause. No great details, but I expect some curious folk to reply.
Things to remember
- No matter where we decide to rent, make sure we have a real estate/property lawyer evaluate and negotiate the lease. Commercial leases are highly mutable---we have a lot of say in our liabilities, but a lawyer is really needed to make sure we aren't getting screwed.
- Essay on Private club legal status regarding membership and equal access and whatnot: [1]
- Site about private clubs: [2]
