If I were a betting man the company is folding up and this dutch character is out there doing the guru circuit as only source of $ and idiots will pay for training from someone like this.  

We threw in the towel on it this year and thats after shifting to $125 trip charge and $90 an hour each hour after that. 

Please reach out to me to schedule a trip to Saint Paul at your expense and my convenience.

I think there are two maybe 3 ways to look at this in my mind.  1) you go into it and bring it all up to modern standards but using that old charm to basically take what is there bring it up to modern standards and rent it out essentially I'm thinking cocktail bar or something trendy like that.2) most banks are on really good centrally located real estate if this is true, then I'd consider it for the dirt, plan to scrape the lot and go vertical with whatever the highest and best use is.3) a kind of combo of the two, if the lot is in a good location and its doable, pull the vaults or other "character pieces" out of the building, scrape the lot, and build whatever is best suited for the site there, but incorporate those historical pieces into the final designs.Is the site near a major retail area? 

It was mistakenly charged as if they had done each task as a different trip, rather than all of them in one trip.

The toothless homeowner taught me so much about humanity and character as well as what people are will to do and say to keep their house. 

It's always a tough call on whether to just do a day trip or pay for a rental as the costs of a nice rental can add up quickly.The TL/DR (which I'll expand on) is that we ended up changing to a strategy of letting others help pay for a cabin that we know we'll love.

Brand new 1 Trip cargo containers are going dirt cheap right now. 

Do you ever have to take a last-minute trip?

By getting to know someone’s work ethic, goals, and character over time, you’ll be in a much better position to determine if they’re a good fit for a long-term collaboration.
