    Moving on up, finally

    I signed a lease for my very own warehouse yesterday. I am finally after 2 years of hard work going to be able to do this full time. This forum(and its members) have helped make this possible, so THANK YOU all!

    I can't move in until 2/15, so I don't have any pictures yet, but will post them once I am settled.

    It is very scary, but I found a deal I could not pass up. It is a small space (1000 square feet) but will do for at least the next year or two. The rent is insanely cheap and all utilities are included, and it is within walking distance of home. I will probably still have to keep a small storage unit on hand just in case.

    I also changed my business name to High Tech Recycling. I am going to add some new categories in addition to my normal e scrap. My graphics guy is not quite done with the new logo. I will post all that stuff in the next few weeks as well.

    I'll give you 6 months and you'll have outgrown the space. I have my fingers crossed for you.
