Biting the Bullet

I have outgrown my nice office space in the basement of a doctor's office building
I rented a 1,000 sq.ft warehouse space with basic heat, electric & a loading dock.
It is near my main office space (which I am keeping) and my home (keeping that, too)
I will now be able to process my ewaste and use gaylords, pallets, & a forklift or pallet stacker.
Oh, yes! Now I can make noise with my air compressor & air tools!
I'm giving myself 6 months to make this warehouse space profitable.
I have several customers sending me a fair amount of telecom equipment and happily, I needed more space to make it work!
I set up an account with PENSKE, too. I recently sold my box truck & I find I am needing a truck every few weeks. (My Ecoinoline van just isn't big enough for these loads)
You can negotiate a much better rate & mileage charge when you set up an account, and you can rent hourly for up to 3 hours!

Just sharing my latest (mis)adventure
Time for a sip of Crown Royal.....

Good luck, Idling gets you no where. Pun intended.

I'm excited to get the new facility set up!
Today I took in a 26 ft truck full of equipment.
Two pallets of commercial UPS units, chock full of lead acid batteries.
They are about 3' wide by 3' high & 10" across.
They are so heavy that I could not lift one onto its wheels without a helper, and I'm a pretty big guy.
I am on a revenue share arrangement with the client, but holy cow!

Thanks for the good wishes from my friends at SMF
It's nice to have friends with similar interests to share with!

I bought a new tool today
Ok: it is slightly used: 300 Hours on the clock
It is being delivered to the new warehouse on Friday
... I am excited

Crown in barrels?
How exciting!
I will set aside room for your JD in barrels, SS

I am in sooo much hot water with my wife over buying this!!

I do a fair amount of local work, but...
I now have the ability to buy surplus commercial telecom systems & equipment across the country with the help of my affiliates
Other than telecom: I am always open to anything interesting that comes along

My new friend "Raymond" showed up today...

Nice!
That will be helpful with all those barrels of booze hanging around the place..oh yeah and work

No worries! I would never abandon my SMF buddies!
