My excuse for not posting for 7 days
I can’t believe it’s been so long since I last posted. I have been so busy that I just haven’t had any extra time to sit at my computer and write. My business partner needed 2 weeks off to move to a new place of residence, so I was riding solo running our auto repair shop, Auto Craftsmen.
When the cat is away… the mice will play.
- I hired a new employee… that I have wanted for over two months
- I hired an electrician to move one of our electric meter boxes so we could build a room outside of bay 5, where we will put the compressor so bay 5 won’t be so noisy you need to were hearing protection to be in that room. Hopefully soon that bay will actually get used and make us some money!
It have been raining pretty much everyday all summer in VT. So even though it was coming down at a pretty good clip, these boys got the job done in 2 hrs.
The meter had to move so they would not be blocked by the compressor. The plan is to put the compressor to the left of the meters and then build an insulated room around it. But first we have to lay a slab of concrete down.
I’m hoping that this gets done tomorrow. Kevin is suppose to get the cement mixer first thing in the morning and get it back by 5 pm. We booked a light day for repairs so it can get done and have time to dry out and set really well. The compressor is big and heavy but essential to running a shop.
Can’t run all our power tools, raise up the lift and put air into tires without an air compressor. But when it kicks on… it is sooooo loud.
It will be a beautiful thing when it is in it’s little room outside and we can rearrange this bay and make it a productive part of the business!
