What is this group of buildings in Mecca?
It’s on Google Earth at the below Lat/Long
21°24′44.77″N
39°53′37.87″E
It looks like a massive Self-Storage place but I rather doubt that’s what it is. It’s got roads going through it but does not appear to be residential, industrial, or commercial. I’m curious if anyone who has been to Mecca can identify this.
Thank you

I rented a converted 3 stall storage facility (verbal) no lease or paper– for our small business shop location. Electricity bill was at highest all seasons approx. $59/mo. Landlord passed away, his son took residence in one of the adjoining stalls. Electric bill skyrocketed- from avg. low of $29 and highest of $59/mo. to avg. low of $65 and highest at $130/mo. I found out my breaker box was supplying electricity to 4 of 6 adjoined storage stalls (14′X50′) My 3 stalls were already converted from straight storage to office and workspace. Where the landlord’s son took up residence was still 1 stall 14′X50′, 1 lightswitch to which he attached an outlet that was powering a network of extens. chords powering 2 sec cams,monitor,46″ TV, 21″TV w DVD, 1 Audio center w/surround & misc. components,fridg,m-wav etc.When I mentioned it to him he said he’d pitch in but 0. Cost me over 2yr time increase of $1200. Asked again-REFUSAL I moved. Are we deserved of legal recourse/compensation ? ADVISE

I’m looking online at “decorative self-adhesive vinyl contact papers”

I’m working on a decorative wooden storage box; I want the inside to be lined with a self-adhesive pattern. It doesn’t need to be waterproof, but I don’t want it really easily marked. Will these products work? (the decorative self-adhesive vinyl contact papers)
