Not sure of the plan.What is your actual goal? As in what do you want out of being in business and life in general?
Do you have a business plan?
Hey folks so recently I posted asking about small shops and anyways it looks like im about to pull the trigger on a 1650sqft shop with 30 foot clearance. If this goes through I am selling my house thats almost paid off and basically going to live in this shop and purchase 2 machines that I haven't figured out yet. The good news is the shop is paid off , the bad news is im homeless and the shop is new but small and it is only roughed in with plumbing and I gotta run electrical a compressor, build a bathroom and a room to sleep. Apparebtly this industry is a dead end for young guys like me looking to start a buisness and I am going to be working for no more than I would have as an employee. I have confidence in my abilities and my know how to get work but it is nearly unanimous from shop owners in this industry that I may have ruined my pretty good life. Im seriously asking because this is almost certain at this point and will be in 3 days did I just make the dumbest decision of decision making for 30 some year olds? And is there any advice you could give to a North American machinist who would take this risk and throw away a more than stable life style? Any advice is appreciated at this point it is very real to me and I can't tell if I have courage or I am completely brainless based on the advice I've gotten the last 10 years. Thanks
I agree on getting a camera, and documenting the journey. It could turn in to a good youtube channel.
Lots of people love to watch stuff like that.
Without knowing values and locations on the house and shop there is no way to know if this is a financially sound decision.
As far as being "homeless": what single 30 year old dude wouldn't LOVE to live in a machine shop?

I can see this thread going nowhere
Ok I'm gonna call it...yes you are stupid
Probably better off taking the money and putting it into bitcoin lol
Well....the OP will be under huge pressure to get work, and be living sub-standard, so will undercut
all the other shops to get work.....Welcome to the race to the bottom.
He'll be the cheapest guy in town with tons of work and a bedroom 6ft from his machines LOSERS!That's why I asked what his goals and business plan were because if those goals include quality of life stuff it ain't gonna happen for a very long time.
