Day 48 of 90
Wow! I arrived Monday to find spaces built out, drywall in place. Now - you see what our work-flow is through the building - it will be more efficient!
What's happening now - texturing, painting, cabinets being built, electrical in the final stages, heating and air in the final stages.
The offices have desks and carpet and windows. One of a kind manufacturing equipment is being built from scratch. As I've said before - we make portraits with a very unique process. You just can't buy some of the things we use. It's presented some fun and interesting challenges for the partners. We've had to source some equipment from other industries.
And as I mentioned in my last post..... I was hoping to find the parts department in operation. It is! At least the first half of the process. Metal prep is going on amidst all of the chaos! When the spray booths and ovens are ready - there will be a lot of blanks to coat and fire.
Next week - we slip out of the bottle neck of the room prep and explode into many areas that we can work to finish. Telephone can be finished, network can be finished. Some of the printing process can be placed in their departments. Cabinets placed, ovens tested. Porcelain powder can be sprayed. Too much to list.
So you may ask - when will you be ready to accept orders? We are thinking in the later part of August. But don't hold me to that - we're moving as fast as we can and I know the partners are going to test the process before they run orders. I can say this - we will definitely be shipping product in September.
I'll see if I can snap a couple of pictures for my next blog post - stay tuned.
Again, thank you for all the cards, letters, e-mails and phone calls. They've been wonderful! Our people love them.
Thank you for keeping in touch. Check back soon.
