Thank you, gentlemen. Some additional info on the space. The facility is called the Boat Loft and there are 15 units. I have two units for a total of 1375 square feet. The purpose of the building is for the storage and owner-maintenance of boats. No business activities, other than boat storage, are allowed. The vision is for this place to become a boat-owner's community where the owners not only work on their own boats, but also work together and socialize. I hope that works out. Aside from the developer who owns two of the units, I have not met any of the other owners yet. This building is phase 1 and there will be a second building started probably the first quarter of next year.

There is a very big parking lot and an outdoor boat wash-down area. There are restrictions on the use of water inside the units. The by-laws prohibit the use running water to wash down boats indoors as it will fill the tight tank and require pumping out at exorbitant rates as it will be considered hazardous waste. The developer plans to build an outdoor catch well in an area where we can pressure wash, but for now, we cannot pressure wash anywhere on site. We can use the hose outdoors for the typical boat wash down and we can still use water to wash the boats indoors, but it will have to be the more labor intensive wash down from a bucket with a sponge rather than the ease of hitting it with a hose. I'm on board with this as the restriction will reduce mold growth and water damage to the structure and interior spaces of the building. My plan is to pressure wash the boats at my house after I haul them out for the season and then bring them to the Boat Loft for indoor detailing.

There are two bathrooms at one end of the building. Unfortunately, my units are at the other end so it is a long walk to the bathroom in the winter. Still, this is better than taking up space inside my unit for a bathroom.

Next week I'm having the floors epoxy coated and then I can start moving in and fitting out the space. I'm going to wait until I have the boats inside before I make any big additions, but I will build a couple of stand alone work benches that can be moved around inside the space.
