We are all moved in!

[Meghan]

Ok we are all moved in and settled. All orders are shipped out, and we are back on to our normal routines around here. Well it was a very long hard journey; we all spent many hours here, most spent 14 hours a day in this warehouse. Nice thing was Max was here open to close everyday. Well at least till the fire truck came, but that is another story. We only had a few problems, that poor mailbox Max ripped apart with the moving truck, oh yeah then Jason wanted to drive the big truck, and well our new garage door… well it lived a short life. We had microfiber everywhere, pallets of new stock being delivered throughout the process of trying to put up what we already had! Just lots of action going on and a lot of orders shipping out! BUT WE MADE IT!!! :applause:
We all ate breakfast, lunch, and most days dinner together! Max really took care of the employees and the employees really took care of unloading about 10 truck loads of stock!
We are very excited and happy to be all in and unpacked! Thank you everyone for being so patient with us during this move, without all of you this would not have happened! :grouphug:

Remember this was day one…

We still had the previous tenants’ cars in our warehouse, not to mention a few engines!

All of this wide open space is long gone…

Jason walking across the aisle that now holds a few hundred Porter Cable.

You cannot have enough stock shelves.

This is our crash derby moving truck!

Here we are working around a BMW I think!

Our new 5 bay shipping station, and we needed every bay shipping non-stop… we had so many orders to get out!

Pinnacle was one of the first to be step-up!

Then we started on the buffer section.

One cannot have enough buffing pads.

Crazy just a day before, there were racing cars where the shelves are….

Kit section is set-up and after all those orders it is already half empty!

 

[Meghan]

The calm before the storm…. We are getting ready to start packing your orders!

OH!! And then the fire truck came…..

Martin County Rescue stopped by for a visit; hey did anyone see where Max went!?

We were packing your orders so fast we were smoking!!!

I think he was calling his boss, not sure….

This is our first day of shipping, the UPS man came in the morning and dropped off our UPS trailer, and we filled it to the top. They had to bring us an empty truck so we could fill that one too! If you watched the UPS stock went up on Tuesday!

The 303 and Stoner aisle is stocked and ready!

This is part of the kits section…. Notice a lot are missing!?!?!

Right after we find a home for all of the pads, two pallets get delivered!!

Shannon is telling Max how great it is to work at the Geek! Meantime the Wenol is about to fall over!

All five packers are getting your orders out!!

A couple of pictures of the old warehouse, empty and sad looking, we will miss it!

There is a few things I can say after this move....
One I love my job, we have an awesome boss and a great crew!
Two we have very understanding customers... THANK YOU!!
and three I think we all need to sleep in this weekend!

Thank you to our mods, for helping out during this move, Scott and Jen you are the best!Im the MAN

I would like to go on record and let you know I had nothing to do with the fire truck!

I would LOVE to hear more about this whole firetruck incident. BTW, the new wharehouse looks great! If you guys don't have enough room still then you're welcome to keep some Pinnacle or buffers in my garage. I can't be blamed for any missing or partially used stock though.

Well the story goes a little like this, yesterday we were flying around the warehouse pulling and packing orders, then comes the fire alarm. Lights were flashing everywhere, sirens, emergency flood lights were coming on! It was loud and crazy, Max stepped out back and said there were some guys working on them to just go about our business everything was ok! Well then we see a big red truck and it wasn't a moving truck. Guys jumped off of it and were ready to put out our fire?? What fire??? We are all looking dazed (mainly from lack of sleep)! Come to find out our A/C unit has a smoking problem! No day can go easy for you when your busy, do you ever notice that???

That is sooo true!! It never rains, but it pours!

Yes I have some funny stories about our journey, I will share them as they come back to me, but one of the good ones is we found out on day one you cannot run the microwave and the frig at the same time! It dims the warehouse a little! So here and there we are finding things and fixing them of course. Another good find was our bathroom!! Now we have a large crew here but at least 10 of us are females, so warehouse is a little new for us. We had some sweet clean offices at the old place. SOOO! Remember I told you a race crew had the warehouse first... well let’s just say the bathroom looked like they kept engines in it! So that was a SMALL obstacle that required some rubber gloves!
Needless to say it is much bigger here, and we can expand our lines and take on new ones, so watch out!

EEEEEEEW I am getting vivid flashbacks of my brother's first apartment that he shared with 3 other guys! Ay why does my imagination have to be SO vivid?

Congrats on the completed move!!, good thing, it sounds like it will be awhile before you move to the new building.

[Rapidity]

Hope that AC is working... FL heat with no AC in a big warehouse? no thanks!

 

[Pats300zx]

[joe.p]

[paradog]

So did the FD guys get some free detailing? THose guys can take it to the next level with the time they spend on those trucks!

Shop looks great! Love to have a 1 minute grab all you can spree! Is the silver Porsche part of the inventory?!

 

[Rapidity]

[sparkie]

I’m glad it was a false alarm. Did you give the EMS guys any Souveran for coming out? The warehouse looks great, I’m happy everybody moved in safe and sound. Great work team! Great pic’s too!
