Well Andy A2 and I (get the title now

) picked the keys up to our new place today, so thought id show off our progress. Pointless but fun for us

And the first bits in. Andy's new XE

Grim Reaper · 26-01-2008, 17:13

nice

congratulations

is it rented or you bought it??

Kev 180iE · 26-01-2008, 17:13

It's Massive!!

...might be easier to arrange to get the iE trailered there than rushing to finish it.

When are you moving out of Braintree?

**jamied** · 26-01-2008, 17:13

Very nice mate....nice having your own unit to work in..

When is the unit warming party?

Drizz · 26-01-2008, 17:14

Kev thats already on the cards. Moving out the old one in a month to give time transfer stuff

callymat · 26-01-2008, 17:24

nice new work space you got now

keithcdb · 26-01-2008, 17:29

That just looks great! Been looking for something just like that for ages now!

**jamied** · 26-01-2008, 17:36

Looking at them pictures mate you might want to get that racking sorted first, look a bit non-h&s. We had a unit shut down next to me due to unsafe racking on a mez floor, shut it untill the owner made it safe and passed. Also if your getting charge Business rates on the unit drop me a pm and i will give you some info on saving you some major cash mate as i had to sort mine out.

A2! · 26-01-2008, 17:58

It's rather large! Let the tinkering commence lol

rc · 26-01-2008, 18:17

lucky buggers! i'm gonna be looking for a unit this year some time, not quite that big though lol!

**Spinbitch** · 27-01-2008, 12:53

wow you wern't kidding when you said it was a bit bigger than your old one ha ha!
Gimme a shout if you need a hand sorting stuff out up there. Got the first week of feb off.

spanishfly · 27-01-2008, 13:58

Jealous

Drizz · 27-01-2008, 14:22

Jamie its not a business its personal storage. No paying customers mate. Its just for andy and i to tinker thats all. No need for H&S either

Drizz · 27-01-2008, 14:24

But we are checking and making the upstairs safer too. May even have it extended across as well

Neil Adams · 27-01-2008, 15:05

Wow! I wish I had that sort of space! Cracking unit... I'm well jealous.

**Tom Williams** · 27-01-2008, 15:21

Nice unit however I think A2D developments would have been better for a name. :@

Drizz · 27-01-2008, 15:38

(See the sticker)

Still have to pay rates on the unit mate, business or not...bit of a bind but there are ways around it.

**Tom Williams** · 27-01-2008, 16:25

Yeah IIRC my boss said something about having to pay business rates on business units either used or empty from April 2008.

Surely changing a sticker is not too much hassle. just cut off the Rizz.

No as theyre included and no need to be adjusted as its purely for hobby. Had it all with my last unit

Cool...but are you getting 50% of the rates and then a review to see if you can get extra amounts off...it can be the difference of paying £1600 a year down to £300 a year, i know you said its in with the rent but you may find your still paying over the odds.

Drizz · 27-01-2008, 16:41

No as ive said chap ive had it all before so i know whats happening.

jon22 · 27-01-2008, 16:46

I know that place. My mate used to rent that
