That's true.
I can't find anything as it is.
Lost my own transmission  :cry:

Here is how my 3 guys have been working:



The graffiti is gone.



We started framing in the walls and supports for the next step... 2nd floor..



We had to pull the wiring, build the wall and put the wiring back.
Wed the inspector is suppose to come by and give us his permission to continue.
So, we could have the walls insulated and sheeted in OSB by early next week.

Bicycle parking?

Oh yeah, the internet is now up and running.
We should have our office set up and ready for local sales by Thursday or Friday.

The framing for the second story supports is up and insulated.
Now I'm waiting from 9-5 for an inspector to show up and say that YES we did the insulation correctly.  :roll:

4-18-11 was our first full day at the new shop.
What a job getting everything over here.
It will be weeks if not months before everything is all organized and put away but at least we can get some work done.

Minions hard at work:


Monday's are usually large shipping days due to weekend sales but this Monday was ridiculous...

It's hard to keep a drivers license riding a 2 stroke dirt bike on the street.  If you drive within the law they are VERY boring.

5-9-11 UPDATE:

Been trying to get moved in and keep up on shipping.
What a MESS!
Here is the start of our new rack systems.
They are way more space saving then the old ones I was using.



It will be a while before I get them all done as I have to move inventory from one location to another and then back again  :-o

Inspection is next week.



Here is our first set of custom racks completed and filled with parts:



Here's an oldie  :-D



It's been sitting in my uncles garage since 1982.
It will look good on the shelves  :-o
