[ausev] garage space suggestions

[Mike Delany]

Good luck.  I have been looking for the same thing.  My garage is packed, 
the car is sitting under a cover in the driveway, and the barn out back is 
stuffed with car parts, wood working tools, compressors and dryers, etc... 
I have been looking for 800 - 1200 feet of space like you describe in a 
decent area (no crack heads peeking in the window to see what they are 
going to steal that night) and have not come up with much.  The cheapest 
that I have found is about $1 per foot/month, and they were real finicky 
about who they would let in.  I have one lead right now, but it is in the 
basement of an office building downtown, and I am not sure if the freight 
elevator will actually hold a car.  Only in Austin...
