Oh, but the land costs out there! Here in the midwest land can be purchased (to house such a nice building) for much much less than out there. That being said, i'm honestly just typing this out of pure jealousy for the 9 months out of the year when it is cold here :P

Yes, thats the problem... a 10,000 sq foot lot goes for around 1.4 million on the peninsula. Its a big problem. You need dual incomes to make that happen cause that ends up being a 2.5 million dollar house ... 5000 sq foot house sitting on a small 10,000 sq foot lot = 2.5 million.

Update
So I have made a few changes and figured it was time for an update.
First: Animal was kind enough to pick this log up for me on his way down to my house. It was made by pitbull strength I believe and is pretty cool.
Second: I found a good deal on a GHR in Chicago. I had been looking for this style GHR for a long time but finally broke down and bought a new Orlando Barbell one. Of course once I did that I found what I was looking for:
Finally: Once I knew I was going to be in Chicago I started looking for other deals I could score on the same trip. I was able to find some Troy Prostyle Dumbbells that matched the ones I currently had. This convinced me to get them and finally get a few racks to have everything together in one spot with 5-150
I am not sure what other changes or additions will come (maybe a rope trainer which Rogue and Atlantis both sell now). The gym is pretty full without being totally over crowded.

Now THAT is a dumbbell set! LOL at all the top shelf looking well worn while the ones on the bottom looking brand new. Thats one beastly set. I'm liking all your other equipment choices too. Very jealous of that GHD.

Hoist - a fitness place in Wisconsin was selling them and the seller was nice enough to meet me near Chicago with them.
Well they don't TOTALLY match. I am trying not to be too OCD about them but the 5-70 are a little older, the 75-115 look a little better, and the 120-150 are mix and match brands. I actually have extra Troys from 75-100 and I thought about making those into 120s, 130s, and 135s. I also considered repainting them all, but I am trying not to over think it.
I am not set up to be able to rent it out. No bathrooms and it is not set up as a business. In all honestly I can barely get people to come lift here even though I do not charge people. I have 2 guys and myself that lift here regularly and thats it. Maybe I am just a big jerk and don't realize it lol

Mike, gyms looking real clean. Awesome job. I like the look a lot. It seems a lot more functional.

Congrats on those dbs! I remember you saying you were looking for them to complete the set. If I lived a lot closer I'd love to lift there!
I take it you like that log? I wondered how it would be since it was a bit thinner than most I've seen."If there must be trouble let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." -Thomas Paine

Well guys I have a little extra equipment money and I am trying to decide what to add to the gym. I am considering the Black Widow Football Bar but I can not really think of much else. I am very limited in space now, so I can't see adding any other machines, but I may be able to squeeze in a small one. Any special bars or smaller items you guys find especially useful? I already have chains, bands, blast straps, rack ropes, and a bunch of attachments.

You need a good rack, a bench, and a 300-lb Olympic weight set. Now, what was your question?
