I'm in need of an empty warehouse/barn/storage space for a few days

[PhillyB]

The equity growth for my Vietnam War film has snowballed over the past month or two and I'm able to start designing sets and scouting locations for the domestic shoots, which will probably take place in January/February. For two of them I'm in need of an empty indoor space to build a few simple interior sets: a Vietnamese bar and a military barracks.

Do any of you have a space you either own or are willing to refer? The needs are pretty simple: a hard floor (as opposed to a dirt one) and the ability to construct a simple free-standing four-wall structure of roughly 20x30 feet.

Anybody own/have access to some unused space (preferably in NC, SC, or GA) they'd be willing to let me use for a few days for cheap?

I'm confused from the way this reads...

Do the spaces need to be on the same property? (ie. build the barracks right beside the bar?)

Is the 20x30 the barracks?

I don't really know of anywhere right now, but I wanted to get clarification before I start brainstorming too hard.

The first thought I had was that you should be able to scout out a defunct, relatively run down looking old general store or service station (or hole in the wall bar, for that matter) in some of the more rural NC towns and counties. All it would take would be getting permission from whomever currently owns the property. I'm assuming you'd need functioning electrical service intact, so that might eliminate this type of property unless you can find one that has it at least close by or capable of getting it with the flip of a main breaker somewhere.

in what capacity?

I'm going to check a place I know of in Columbia SC tomorrow. So basically you need something like a covered big barn or like a good sized storage unit with concrete flooring?

yes! that would be perfect. just something indoors that lets me build a small freestanding structure, no more than 12 feet high, just framing lumber and sheetrock with nothing anchored into the floor, no mods, no demo, nothing like that. will disassemble, clear, and clean on the way out.

lighting is a huge plus. we'll install our own lights inside the set but it would be good to have light to see while we set it up, haha.
