Gosh it's hard to believe...but here we are...a year ago today we were given our occupancy permit for our new shop.
Almost immediately we leased out the back 1000 square feet to a local art foundry...that makes half our new mortgage payment.
It took some settling in (more work to do)but we'll get there...Everyday I walk in look at the shop and can hardly believe it's ours.
Building it was traumatic (to say the least) but I now openly tell everyone it's been worth it all.
It's been a tough year...but we're here to stay and things are getting better everyday.
Thanx for all the support along the way and a special thanx to everyone that made it to out "warming".

Congratulations Monte! (and Patsee)
Your shop is something I've always dreamed of having. Well worth the effort.
It was great to be there at your "shop warming" party. Something Sue and I will never forget.
Have you built that spray booth down the side of the shed yet? It would be the icing on the cake Posted by bill riedel (Member # 607) on :
Good to hear all is going well, isn't is nice to have more room? The foundry is growing, how far are they with the Land Rush job? Talk about a big job, wow.
