We're stuck in Limbo right now. As Steve was getting prepared to sign all of the lease papers, the guy decided he was going to essentially raise the rent about $2000/month. Even though Steve was going to split the rent, that's still an INSANE amount of money for the type of rental it is. There is no way we're going to put ourselves into that kind of debt. Needless to say, Steve is now out of work.
Funny thing is, he's got customers coming at him from everywhere telling him about properties that he should check out. Unfortunately, the properties aren't designed well for his needs. He needs a lot of space to pull very large trailers in & out of, as well as storing them in an area he can feel comfortable leaving them overnight or over the weekends.
To add fuel to the frustration fire, he's getting more work these past 2 weeks than he's had in months (if that was even possible) By Wednesday of last week he was already booked through this week, and now he's even got some appointments he's trying to fit in next week. The guy who he worked "under" closed all of his accounts, so Steve's having difficulty getting what he needs. (Parts, payment w/credit card etc) Also, the guy is gone now. Steve has another month he can stay, but there's no security in it.
I know that there's something out there for him. As long as we're not stealing chunks of our neighbors grass, I think we're gonna be ok!
