Is there any way he could buy his own workshop? I priced one in local region at 400K (that's probably on the exxy side, wait 18-24 months...) and how much would you need to make clear of expenses to pay it out in 4-5 years? Sorry if this is naive, just dislike renting stuff.

If he's a carb wizard then there will always be demand.
Problem is these days it wouldn't just stop at initial outlay, you would have the EPA, local council, Karen's constantly monitoring you on everything you do.

There was a great little custom spray painter in Harris Street, Pyrmont who operated there for more than 60 years but with all the highrise closing in around that part of the inner city he had no choice but to close down due to cafe goers complaining about paint drift.
That area had a great history of shipping, boatbuilding, rail and transport but has now gone like the rest of $ydney.
It a shame Sydney Harbour is no longer a working port it once was.
On the carbys, found a good carby place in Shepparton recently, very old school ways, only had to look at his front desk to see the rebuilt Carter, Holley and Weber units awaiting customer pick up to gauge how popular this guy is.

Nothing like a good quarry and multiple truck rotations to get the punters complaining.
