Old roadside store becomes an office
A property owner in an unincorporated part of Fresno County has an old roadside store building that stopped being a store years ago. A local service company wants to lease it as an office, if it can get a few private rooms, a reception area and a working restroom. We visit the property, look at the framing, the panel and the plumbing, and talk about which parts are worth keeping. The written scope covers demo of old shelving and counters, framing new offices, updating electrical and plumbing, and finishing walls, ceilings and floors. Because the building is outside city limits, the owner knows early that the county is the office that reviews the work.
