18000 feet2 = 193750 m2 = 28 footie fields

on the spooky interview they said it a company making molex fittings etc and there are other sheds there but not to be used yet so lots of potential to grow and the accommodation was going to be the like those retro 60's style silver caravans but with lcd's etc, should be a sweet place to visit for a holiday - bet Wotto will be the first to visit  &&

18 000 square foot = 1 672.254 72 square meter  ( by google)

was curious of where this place was to put things in perspective and good old google allows you to get a good idea.

1st is a map showing LA etc and to the right is a pinkish / orange balloon with A in it which is Banning Airport
2nd is an aerial shot of the property - appears to be a few other sheds there for expansion as in the spooky interview said these were being rented out at the moment, big carpark and parkland for the accomodation
3rd is a drive by shot to confirm it is the place

Your right Ant I multiplied where I should have divided, need another bullet  &^&, and size doesn't sound right as that is only 33 x 50m space

Off to a decent start already David! Hope a few large pledges come through to really bump it up.

Yeah, we've almost hit $12,000 within the first 12 hours. It's going to take quite a few backers to make this thing come alive! We would be honored by any help in spreading the word. Thanks!

We've hit the 10% mark, and we have 25 days left! If this DREAM is going to become a REALITY, we need everyone's help. Every dollar makes a difference. Would you consider becoming a backer on Kickstarter?

Hey David,

Despite the good marketing promotion, you guys unfortunately probably won't reach your 150k level, with 20k pledged with 12 days to go ( hope I'm wrong). When will the museum open without the money behind you?
