Nice!  Did he downsize???

No the shop is actually bigger. He owned an industrial unit with condo fees etc here in Gerogetown...sold that and his house and moved out to Gorrie ON and bought a house with a shop on the property :clapping:

Wow that is a hell of a move....yes I had to google Gorrie!  Sounds like a dream set up though!

Looks like you will see a lot of his work to get those quarter panels looking good again.

Put it this way.....He bought an acre of land, real nice bungalow home with a nice shop in Gorrie, for the exact same price he sold his 900 sq/ft  industrial unit for in Georgetown. $350K. :o Then whatever he sold his G-town home for, is just money in the bank :bigmoney:
