I thought that it would be unbelievable to purchase a property where I could expand my business, however I should have given myself a larger budget.
The place that I bought needed a ton of labor the moment I gained the keys to the building.
Although I operate a boat, marine, as well as fishing store, the existing space had to be retrofitted to hold a retail space with a small warehouse in the back for inventory as well as up-to-date products. But getting the building modified as well as ready for use was only half of the battle. The other labor I had to do was outside. The parking lot needed to be repaved, the roof needed repairs, as well as the grounds desperately needed some TLC from a landscape designer. Even when I had all of those troubles fixed, that left myself and others with the dilapidated concrete wall that wraps the property. I would have left it if it didn’t look so awful from years of weathering. When I hurt myself trying to remove the old concrete fence, I realized I needed professional help. However, I had no system. There were companies dedicated to removing odd kinds of fences. I called the closest fence removal company and they sent out a team of experts the same day. They looked at the fence and they gave myself and others an exact estimate on the cost. Since it was only slightly higher than what I was expecting, I hired the fence removal company as well as let them get to work. I was surprised that it only took them various days of labor to get the old concrete fence unfastened from my property.
