Mike, I spend 3-4 days a week there, still have to work to pay the bills. Hopefully it will support me in the future. There are 5 hoop house in a row, they are 10m X 30m. I only have two, with the option to take on the others if this venture proves profitable.

Resin, the place has been abandoned for 15 years, time and hurricanes can take their toll on plastic. I can reuse all of the shade cloth, it is still in perfect contition. And I only cover the houses with plastic in winter (Oct to March) making it less likely to suffer in high winds. Shade cloth only gets damaged if hit by limbs, cars, buses etc. If the cloth gets wrecked you can repair it just like a fisherman's net.

Phicks, the site is at 1711 Hwy 60 W. , Plant City. couple miles west of Hwy 39.

Bonitin, there is enough space to set up several workshops. I am going to have one for making wood lawn furniture, one for stained glass lamp making and hope to have one area for making concrete items. If you get tired of the long, cold winters in Europe, call me we will get you a nice trailer and you can make lots of concrete items and show me all your trade secrets!
