Hondo Garage's New Thing

Don’t judge me!

It does have full in floor heating, but alas no people paying me rent for my garage.

And i would love to have a grow house, but out here in the country they fly helicopters almost nightly with infrared cameras looking for grows out in fields. They’d definitely see the heat signature. No just my FJ and Tractor live in there full time. Besides that it’s my shop.

 

Just curious where this is, in general. That sounds absolutely crazy and I don't even smoke (yeah, that's weird given my location).

 

I could live in there. Just put a mattress, flat screen, and a hot plate in a loft. Would be my dream house.

 

Im in NY. We’re in the infancy of legalizing it here though. There’s a few old factories around that are actually being converted over to grow houses (legally) which i guess gives the state even bigger motivation for cracking down. Loss of revenue from taxes. Anyway i certainly don’t smoke either. Im subject to random screenings for work so reguardless of legality it’s not for me.

On another note, we’ve really gone off topic on this thread and i apologize for my part in that. Wiley & Graeme do you see what happens when you leave us un-suprivised!!!

 

Interesting. That seems like a lot of tech and manpower for limited returns, but that can apply to just about everything these days.

The tax thing has been great for WA. The shops and suppliers have had problems with the cash only system / banking because of federal rules. Still, millions for everyone in it. Just amazing.

In the end, other than smelling weed while out and about (somewhat better than cigarettes), it seems to be a great thing from my knothole. I've been wanting to try some edibles. Someday. . .

 

I understand. I was quoting just the garage cost. Add another $1M or $2M for the house.

 

I am also in an expensive area.. $600k+ for a 2300 sq/ft town house

 

hey great to hear i am not the only one paying an arm and a leg to live where i live

 

the suburbs of DC... I live in Loudoun County. (dont make anywhere close to the average though)

Got mine pre-ordered!

 

will there be a short-bed compatible version?

 

Order numbers from their site are relatively meaningless now.

 

Not really, being everyone that paid the final payment with a CC is counted twice.

 

Order #118

 

I did get an email 2 days ago stating my check was received and they’d be “sorting” the build Que shortly. I’m guessing once they get 15-30 paid they’ll announce the initial build orders.

It came directly from Graeme

 

My preorder was #16, payment order #101.

 

I’m build #31.

 

Hey Guys,

Thanks for your patience. I have been coordinating check payments and card payments and getting all the logistics sorted and figuring out our timelines. I just sent emails to everyone who has paid in full with their build queue number, and an estimated production date.

If you have any specific questions regarding your timeline, please reach out to me and I assure we will do our best to accommodate if at all possible.

Also, preorder ends march 1.

Oh, and if you have called me and left a voicemail and haven't heard back, I somehow lost your call in the shuffle. Please try calling again, or shooting me an email at the address below. I am doing my absolute best to stay on top of everything, so let me know if you feel I have missed anything.
