Hey everyone,
My new toys showed up today. To say I am extremely happy is an understatement! Another Sporty and Sprint Gas Dryer. I want to thank and say that Rich Hoffman, Rich Nesladek, and Monty Bartel have helped me tremendously. I am now waiting for my Kaeser Airtower and Smart Piping to show up next week and then it is install time. Looking forward to it because I have a good amount of work to kick out before the holidays.
When I say another Sporty that refers to my past company and purchases in Seattle. I sold my share in that company and have relocated to New Orleans so this is a complete new shop from the ground up. The amount of help from everyone has been amazing and I will be giving many recommendations once I am up and running. I am just super excited to be uncrating everything today and tomorrow and positioning everything this weekend.
If anyone is ever in New Orleans here on the boards feel free to swing on by and we can talk shop and grab a beer or Po' Boy! I will be posting more pics soon. Have to run! Too much to do!

Awesome! Congrats on your new purchases....... There's nothing like busting open those crates and seeing brand new never touched equipment. Good luck getting your shop cranking out the goods! I've got the bug to get something new, lol! Looks like our next purchase is an auto coater.

Hahaha, thanks guys. Yeah, that fork lift was overkill to say the least. Used for moving shipping containers. Almost to big for the warehouse!

Hey man, cool, get in touch with me. It's my wife's Bday that night but I will be around all weekend installing the Kaeser Airtower.
-
Just me, my trusty Black Lab Patty, a fork lift, circular saw, and crowbar. Getting there!

I get in on the Friday and we have some sort of gig to do that night... then Sat is the big show and then we leave on Monday... so probably Sunday would be best for me. We only have the haunted house/xmas thing to do on Sunday and that is in the evening.

Congrats on the purchase and good luck in the future

great man...looking forward to checking it out...i live down the street from your location.
-
That looks awesome Brandon, space looks real nice and the gear even nicer. All the best!
-
Thanks everyone! I will post some more pics tomorrow. Everything will be in place, electrical connected, and then gas connect on Wed morning. That leaves Kaeser Airtower by Friday (hopefully) and M&R tech mid next week. Slow goings and I might be crazy doing it by myself but it's almost there. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel - I mean dryer!
-
This was a first for me. Two transformers from M&R. My building has 240. Doh!
-
Looking good Brandon. Congratulations man. ;D
-
Thanks Rich! All credit goes to my little helper
-
Cool, Black Dog "Guardian of the Stairs"!
We found we needed a transformer for our Sporty the day of
install. M&R had one here the very next day after the tech called HQ at 4pm.
-
In very, very cool news Mr. Hoffman graced me with his presence yesterday! I haven't even opened the doors yet and he has already been here. If that is not good luck I don't know what is!
More pics soon!
-
I finished the dryer yesterday. I just have two wipe down and loosely connect the belt and adjust for the next couple of weeks. You can't tell but it is more than two feet from the wall so servicing will be easy.
Today and tomorrow is the Kaeser and smart piping and then on Wed I have the M&R tech coming to install the press. Can't wait as I have a ton of shirts to print!
-
Colour me jealous!

Hey Everyone,
Attached is a rough "time frame" compilation of pics during the install. I plan on coming up with something nice for the office wall and will get it framed and the solid gold treatment, all that sort of thing. But everything came together smoothly and M&R was awesome as usual and I had the pleasure of Mr. Hoffman even stopping by! A few small hickups here and there with electrical (building is 240) and the Kaeser Airtower (loose fitting) but I am now up and running. Next is the other 3/4th's of the warehouse space to get ready. I have temp screen and ink rooms with temp and humidity control now but will be building correct ones come after the holidays. And everything else that is needed. Being it is just me it takes some serious time due to actually having to print and stay on top of the books but I should be done by Spring or Summer hahaha. Coming soon I plan on activating the band thread again as that is pretty much all I am doing. Already did a bunch of orders this weekend so pics soon!

Smooth~
A very Merry Christmas has arrived!
Looks like the EX has a new control face.
What's the moral boosters name?
Aka "Guardian of the Stairs"

Awesome stuff Brandon. Good luck with all that new equipment and setup. You obviously know what you are doing.
Not to hijack your topic but I will post about some of our new equipment (some used) soon in a new thread.
I think 2014 is going to be a great year.

Looking good Brandon, I'll PM you in a bit

Looking good! Can't wait to come check it out
