Where is everyone #5

Sounds like you had fun!

Went to another last night in my hometown, but this was a ranch rodeo. A little different than typical, and included Indian relay horse racing. That gets a little Western!

 

Pine cone truckstop. There’s an outlet mall right next door.

 

Texas Roadhouse ??

 

Aero under 60 mph means nothing either.

 

That is my great aunt and uncle! Al and Mary Decker. He started selling Harley's and Mercury outboards in Reedsburg WI back in the 50's. Moved to Madison in early 60's. That pic is at the shop on Park St, they moved to Stoughton Rd right after that was taken.

 

Ad came through but not your great aunt and uncle.
EDIT: I didn't know you meant your relatives were the ones in the picture that Grubby posted. Neat.

 

He’s referring to the people in Grubbys picture.

 

Oh ! Sorry. I didn't realize.
That's way cool that Grimey posted a pic of his relatives and didn't even know it.
Thanks for clearing that up JD.

 

That's quite an extensive project. On the other hand, look what you got. An expansive indoor workspace that is way above average and will be in service for decades. I can imagine that since the structure was originally part of a heavy industrial plant, that it has much more value than anything you may have considered with new construction for similar money.

I'm also quoting for context, mainly to thank everyone again for posting up a dozen different ways one would approach such a project. The cost/effort was all over the place as expected, mainly influenced by options/upgrades and to a some degree zoning/government influences regarding commercial structures.

I studied the online photos of the subject building in my OP about this, and clearly see a wood frame with metal siding. So not what would be considered a "metal building," but better constructed than what comes to my mind when people describe a "pole shed." So my apologies in possibly over-stating what it was when I said metal building. To be fair, for an outbuilding/shop that's on a 5-10 acre lot zoned for light ag/residential, it's appropriate just bigger and better equipped than most. It would never pass muster on a commercial property. That said, everyone's contributions have given me better perspective on what I'm looking at with this property, along with others I'll no doubt stumble across while looking.

 

I stand corrected... started in 1946
