I think by answering Thom below, I kind of answered your question.

I can't go into something assuming that you will take my CRT tubes at no charge and then a few months later, find out that you are out of business or bankrupt.

I can understand that. After talking with the realtor on that building, I decided to base everything here at the house. This would bring overall costs down by not paying for a second building. Only thing I'm teetering on is wither to use the basement or build/have built a building on the property. Both cary their own sets of requirements, but to answer your question: since the house is paid for I don't foresee going out of business or bankrupt. Liverpool would have to pull some nasty stuff for that to happen.

I would suggest talking to the planning department of your city before proceeding any further with setting this up on your property.

Town office said I could as long as I paid for the proper permits and didn't let it impact the neighborhood - heck, the guy that lives next door uses his property to do auto work for people. He's always selling used tires.
