So I am going to a new shop. Slightly smaller, but SUPER clean with ample power, gas, heat/AC and epoxy finished floors with a carpet upper loft office area. Quiet neighborhood with no knuckleheads burning rubber outside the shop door.
STOKED.
Anyway I will be digging out of the current place and may have some misc gear to unload here. Some of it might even be screen-printing related!
Example: anyone need a 16" jacket hold down? (M&R bracket...) best offer or I'll trade it for a nice Nikon lens.
Hope all is well and good in your world.

Keep posting what you have. I think I am fairly close to you.

May the Force be With You.
Moving a screen printing shop has got to be up there on the list of all time worst
things to do ever. Hopefully it happens during the hottest part of the year, unt. unt. unt.
Congratulations though.

I agree 100%. Just moved from a 2.5 car garage into a 3000 square foot shop and I am still trying to get everything set up. Changing location will effect alot more then you think.

Done it before. And when I moved into the current place, it was a bloody mess. Had to re-do lighting, plumbing and run electrical, replace drywall, paint, etc etc. This place is clean and ready to go.
Regardless, I'm overlapping a month of rent between the two for the move. The new shop is only 10 minutes down the highway so it doesn't need to all go in one truck.

I have a problem collecting all things screen printing. When my lease
is up here, my landlord knows he has me.

I originally converted the second floor of my house into my shop. When I moved into an actual space all I could think of was HOW THE HELL DID I GET ALL OF THIS UP HERE!!! My next move was across the hall to a much bigger space. That was pretty easy. Find a big strong friend, rent a moving van/uhual and it won't be bad at all. If you are moving to a better space you will be super excited about everything. The main thing that sucked was building the washout room.
As Jason said, pics, pics, pics!
Good luck!

Uh...yeah.
:P

it would almost be a blessing to move, getting rid of some of this crap would be great. I've been slowly trying to clear it out myself
-
I used to say I need a bigger shop. Then came the fire and we had to move out for about 5 months. What a pain.
I could not keep up with my tooks and little stuff.
Glad to be home.

Moved my shop 5 times in 8 years and getting ready to do it again... fun stuff.
-
Moving!!!! as we say in the South..."Bless your heart" and good luck

Dammit.
So this was going to be a sub lease. The tenants went to re-negotiate their lease the other day and the landlord actually jacked UP their rent. Retroactively.
Looks like they are vacating the premises in a few months. No way I could afford the whole thing.
Back to looking....
>:(

Sorry to hear that Jason. Good luck with a new spot. Hopefully it will work out where you get something even better!

there's plenty of fish in the water. The economy still sucks so there are tons of vacant spaces available at excellent prices. Start looking around and don't stop until you find the perfect space at the right price. The layout is not something you can change, but the prices right now are negotiable. When you find the space that will work for you tell them what's in your budget and ask if they can work with it. You'll be surprised at what goes these days. I have found that being honest and polite about offering considerably less goes long ways. When we were looking few years back it got us the space at about 50% going rate. We straight up told them what we can afford and they chose to do it rather than have the space sit empty. When negotiating, we were working with the potential landlord to try to find some compromise that would work for both of us rather than trying to outmaneuver them. We gave in some and they gave in some. In the end, they signed a tenant into a space that needed a little work, but we agreed to take care of it.
The point is, find somebody who wants to work with you. It will make a better landlord long term . . .
