None yet Cory, i was just looking for a good shop in that area since most of the Copart auctions are there and it seems like i will be able to cover the southeast as far as craigslist goes from there too. I got the shelves put in the unit in Orlando and the air conditioning should be this week too. My wife just says im trying to find ways to get out of he house lol. Yeah! She travels several months a year for work and I get bored out here in the country.

Oh I see, you would think that with the thread title I would have understood that post.

So a storage unit in Orlando, and possibly an old service station in Georgia, cool.

Settled on a place to land for my world headquarters lol. It's just a couple blocks from the intercoastal waterway in Cocoa Florida. It's a small office with a parts room and a two bay garage for teardowns and build ups. Can't wait to finally get settled so I can finish up some of these projects. Hopefully we will be up and selling parts the first week of June.

Tony - nice, cool little place, exciting to see it all come together. For North Carolina trip, we are headed to Beech Mountain. I just googled Tarboro real quick, looks like that is way east, would love to meet up if possible. I'll be there June 23rd to July 9, and then I come home for 2 weeks and then go back for another 7 or 8 days at the end of July.

Thanks Cory. Beech Mountain is beautiful. My brother has a timeshare cabin or in his case, a time hog cabin up there. Definately beautiful country. I will see when we are meeting this year in Tarboro as i will be driving right by you on the way to Robbinsville.
