Was suppose to get the building inspected today but the inspector called us and said he was sick.  :x

I went ahead and started moving in anyway.







They will probably make me take it all out....
Oh well.

Thanks Friar-Tuck!
If you do come up some time, don't forget to let me know your coming as I never know when I might need to get away for some sand therapy :lol:
We are swamped..... It's both good and bad because I need the money but sometimes I can't give as much customer service as I am used to.
For instance I have several requests for measurements on "Custom" applications.
I can tell them what the parts will fit but I don't have the measurements handy.
My parts are all about an hour drive from each other there and back.
I am moving parts every day and trying to keep up with a bunch of shipping.
Plus, I am working to get the shop done.
Oh yeah, family time and me time......
So, for the mean time I have to apologize and tell them I can't do it.
It doesn't win you many friends when you say no, even though getting measurements for custom applications are a huge waste of time as they almost never buy.
What can you do?
Only the best you can.

Planted all the trees today.
Assembled some more racks and arranged more inventory.
Yep, the building is already too small  :cry:
But I knew that it wasn't going to be big enough until I can finish the entire second floor.
All it will take is another 20k or so :-o
The internet will be hooked up on Tuesday so I need to get all my network plugs installed and start making patch cables.
There will be no wireless as it it too easy to hack most wireless routers.
If it will stop raining for a few days, I can get the drive way completed, paint some lines and hang the open sign.
Since this is Oregon that should happen around August  :lol:

I was joking.
It rains a lot here  8-)
It could be ready this week or it may be a few more weeks depending on the weather.
In the mean time I'll keep moving parts in....

Finally got the fork rack moved over.
I had to toss some older forks as I am running out of room.



Our boxing and shipping bench is done:



I know these plants and trees will help sell some parts:

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.

What a mess...







We are getting the downstairs supports for the second floor done.
Once that is complete then we can start assembling all our racks and start getting this mess organized  :lol:
Somewhere in this pile or in one of my many shipping containers is my KX500 Transmission that has gone missing  :cry:

That's a good mess to have. Means you're closer to being done. At least it's totes and not just a pile o parts in the middle of the floor.
