First off, I laugh a lot, hahahahaha 100,000 sf, hahahahahahahaha If set up right, you could produce more monitors then all in the states put together, times five.

Second, what part of the country is this facility in? As if its anywhere but southern Fla. Its going to cost you a million bucks to heat them buildings. As monitors take lots of heat and heat is not cheap.

You mentioned niles and waters, well, the electric bill will be more then the monitors are worth. Not even counting the food bill which will be very large.

Then you mention, tree monitors. That shows some naivity. That is, you are making a choice between opposites.

Then your scale is off, that little building could produce more tree monitors then you could ever sell. That is if you not only learn how, but actually apply that.

I have one of the very few monitor facilities, in the states, and I have about 3,000 sf under roof. For a decade or so, we produced over 500 to a 1000 monitors a year. I have cut way back. Now only a couple hundred a year. There is no profitable market for captive hatched that I know of. Or at least outlets that will actually pay. Remember the scale here, you mentioned, 100,000 sf. Not a clutch here and there. Which does appear to be profitable.

If I were you, I would fix up that little building and get a few monitors and set them up nice, and try to have fun with them. On that small of a scale, it does not matter what kind you get. Cheers
