We get treated pretty well and have a great relationship with the managers as long as we keep the area outside our space clean they have no problem. Pretty sweet deal. We rehearse all the time when their office is open and in the dead of night with no problem, the rolling bay door is wide open. A couple of fans in the summer and a little space heater in the winter and it's a really groovy spot. Electrical is fine too, I just took the light fixtures out and replaced them with the ceramic fixture with an outlet on it, ran some extension cords and got it all set up nice. We laid spare carpet on the floors to make it a little nicer and it doesn't get so cold in the winter, absorbs the bounce that would occur from all the sound hitting it too. Got a couch, TV, work bench, and many Marshall stacks! I love it down there.

You got a great deal there, try not to loose it.
I wouldnt think any place would let you have all those privilages? My storage manager would have a kiniption if he saw me using a lightbulb-tab to run a few amps and a space heater...LOL
Is your storage center a private place, or a large chain, I'd like to see if those privelges for bands are universal. You may PM me is you dont wnat everyone to know. Thanks
