Letting old garages
Wed, 11/17/2010 - 00:03
by sellotape100mI recantly got my hands on ten run down garages. Big enough to take a car in each.
I intend to let them out and just wondering what I should charge per week for them. They are near a reasonable housing estate but not a large one either. I think that the people there would just like to get there vehicle in a garage overnight.
I was thinking I would put a vandle proof locking system on them and give them a coat of paint and do a few minor repairs here and there.
What sort of price would someone pay each week for a secure garage for there cars ? ? ?.
I am open to all suggestions.

imagine teaching some kid karate with loads of pens sticking out of your shirt pocketsCan the police enter your garage without a warrant? And does anyone know what this is about?
So I've had a notice put on my garage door saying the police need to have a look in it to eliminate me from their enquiries (it's on all my neighbors garages too).
Now I've nothing to hide, all that's in my garage is a pushbike and some old tables and junk, but out of curiousity can they actually demand that I let them look through it without a warrant?
And does anyone know what this is about? If they think someone is making bombs/drugs in their garage surely telling them you are coming at their convenience defies the whole point of the search! Anyone have any idea what this little search is meant to achieve?
Just so we are clear, I've spoken to the gruffest man on the police force who at least confirmed that he had heard of the operation but said I had to call back in the week. They are free to come around but I'll have some question for them when they arrive as I still think this is some sort of con (it just doesn't add up).
If you're in the UK..it's a wind up!!
Yes...the police need a search warrant for your garage....but if you're arrested for an offence when standing in your garage...then they don't need a search warrant.
Police don't give notice to search...or it defeats the object....that is..if they tell you in advance...and say you did have something in there you shouldn't have...then it gives u time to dispose of it....that's not the way they operate!!
Customs and Excise don't need a search warrant...they can look without one!!!!
Hope this is of help!what about these old ones then ?

The going bra less joke is pricelessCost of running an old fridge?
I'm considering buying an old fridge (not sure about the rating, but probably D) just to use as a spare one in the garage and my husband is convinced that it will cost us a lot in electricity. The question is how much more compared to let's say energy rating A++? What works out as a cheaper solution? To buy an expensive fridge with excellent energy rating or a cheap used fridge with terrible energy rating? Many Thanks!!
The three big energy hogs in homes are air conditioning, clothes dryer and refrigerators. Energy efficient refrig. consume much less energy than old junkers. A used fridge is the worst as the person is probably having problems with it and you not only inherit the problems but the added energy expense.
The best was to save energy with refrigerators is to have one, inside the house where the temps are regulated and not have one at all in the garage as the warmer months cause it to run way too much anyway.
I'd say, forget the garage fridge all together and save the most money all around.Joke:::::: Old is When.....?

Love the first one. hahahahaaaHow to repair my escort's rost over the wheel?
I have a 10yr old escort an as all of these models I have a huge(about 10-12in long, curving stripe, about 0,5-1in bright) advancing rost above my right, rear wheel. I have spotted that almost 80% of these car models have these 'bites' in the same place, right above the wheels.
Is there anyway I can fix it myself with no additional expensive tools? I.E. with some pastes and brushes from Halfords? Or is it less work and stress just go to garage and let it fix (any idea how much will they charge me?)?
If manual option is cheaper, could anyone give me any advice how to proceed and where to begin?
Much cheaper to fix it yourself. Rub it down with some wet and dry paper. Put on a Kurust paint. Then undercoat it and spray it with some top coat. Mask off the surrounding area with newspaper when spraying.is old age like this ?

If I was one of the tenants near by and these was for rent it would be a good idea to have a key card system not only to get in to the compond but a key pad to get in to the garage as well.
Now that has to be at least worth £25 a week to know that your vehicle is secure. You and the tenants may be able to prove to the insurance company that the vehicle is secure over night.
Good on you mate

That is a good business idea you have there. people get to rent a reasonable priced garage to keep there car safe at all hours plus now we are having frost and snow it means those who have not got a garage will be able to get there car undercover so come the morning for work they wont have to defrost it.
Good on you.
Sounds like those will be snapped up in no time at all.
Well done you for thinking of the business idea and how it will be of great help to other car owners just wanting to get there car undercover and keep it safe from chavs and anyone else for that matter.
Mark
Neat idea but how is it that everyone else always seems to think of these excellent ideas before me.
Everytime I come up with an idea like that it already seems to have been thought of by someone else.
So I should say best of luck to you and I shall have to go back to the drawing board.
