    Well, did the shut down today. Running prints right up ’til the last …machine was still hot as I wheeled it to the loading bay.

    Should be Monday when I’m back into production at the new site. Still got to complete a full strip down of the whole unit. Signs on the side being one of the biggies.

    Took me all day today to pack up 95% of my dept….and take out the CCTV, wall heaters and still have time to feed a really cheeky little crow that came a-visiting.

    Front door was open – so in it trundled with a high pitched swawk. Spotted a couple of jelly beans near the vending machine and took them out side. Still not satisfied, in it comes again – demanding to be fed properly.

    I took a pack of rolls from the kitchen – and gave him & his shy mates breakfast….it came back at 4:30….so near enough handed him a piece of bread…just that last foot that was out of bounds. Crows…gotta love ’em.

    I digressed. Moving across town to North Isla Street. Boss bought an reclamation yard, sheds & office block…it was a total hole.
    One shed is looking great after it’s refit….muggins here was volunteered to run all of the cable tray, SWA & air lines.

    I’m getting more space at the new place – most of the upper floor of the office block. However…there is at present no lower floor…just a hole in the ground. Will be 4-5 weeks before I can move in properly…and 6-7 weeks to complete the bottom offices.

    So informed I’m "in a portacabin" for the time being…should be fun…not.

    Pics to follow as it all comes together.

    Rather you than me David. I would dread having to move again.

    Good luck with it, and I look forward to seeing the pictures.

    When we were looking for new premises last year I almost took a shed of a unit on. Having now experienced what you need to do when moving I am glad we didn’t.

    Having said that I wish you all the best and hope it works well for you.

    Cheers

    Moved out of the portacabin last Thurday…well off schedule.

    So now have a cosy 12x6m workshop / office. Woo hoo…but it’s upstairs and getting big panels in & out is a pain. Mind you – did load the ENTIRE contents through the window on a forklift…40 odd rolls of vinyl & 54" Cadet included…

    Will post some pics.
