Its been a bit since my last update – mostly because work has been taking up a lot of my mental energy.\u00a0 Our 3 way merger has evolved now into a 5 way merger and the time frames have not changed (actually compressed a bit) – that is not leaving a lot of left over brain cells for the weekend.\u00a0 But this week was not too bad and I have coffee in hand and I thought I would capture what has been happening since the snow disappeared?<\/p>\n
First off – my Dad and I have been working diligently to de-clutter and organize his workshop.\u00a0 We have gotten rid of some things that were no longer needed and have come up with new organizational schemes for materials and tools – so we are utilizing the existing space much better.\u00a0 We moved the electric welder over to my shop (still need to put that back together at some point), added a lot of eye hooks in the ceiling as a mount point for a new and really slick chain fall hoist from a firm in Japan<\/a> – it is totally sweet.\u00a0 You can lift several hundred pounds with just finger tip pressure pulling on the chain and it is very easy to control.\u00a0 It makes moving around some of the new sheet metal tools my Dad has bought very easy.\u00a0 Below is a picture of the kind of stuff we are doing – getting things organized has made it a lot more pleasant to be in the shop along with the new lighting and heating system too – it means it is getting used several hours a day vs a few hours per year!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
