    A few days ago we built another table and started setting up another memory station.





    Here we started setting it up, the mess started to creep up. Since then the guys came and removed almost all the stuff I don't own from the back half of the warehouse. I have plans next to build a "clean room" It will just be a small room with a vent for soldering and stuff like that, keep the dust down. I decided building a wall is just not going to help so instead we plan to upgrade the HVAC with it's own filtration.

    WI ITAD LLC, IT Liquidation Services, we remarket, buy and sell scrap electronics No customer too large or small!

    Here's a few pictures of my basement, that is currently in the midst of a complete remodel. I still need to skim coat the floor as you can see its pretty pitted, spray for the mold, and paint the walls, and lastly put up some drywall. You can get an idea, or vision, of where I'm going, with my work area. Or, at least I can see the vision . I really didn't want to post any pictures until it was complete, but since this thread is here now, I figured what the heck. Any thoughts, or ideas are always welcome. Thanks to Army for creating this thread, I'm pretty sure that someone can apply something to their own operation to make it more profitable and time efficient

    1- Boxes and boxes of all sizes, a workout mat, bins and packaging material. Which I will be going all biodegradable with my next order of packaging supplies
    2-Test Bench, tools, radio, printer, bins of screws, caps, resistors, etc (can see it but I have a neodymium magnet screwed to the left leg of this bench for my hammer. Great tip I got from someone else's picture
    3- LCD Monitors waiting to be repaired (Notice the pitting floor). This house and foundation are 110 years plus old so its been a long time coming.
    4- A wider view of the first picture - Printers that need cleaned/painted/refurbished.
    5- My bread and butter. My Ebay picture area. This has made me a lot of money and cost me $8?, maybe for the white poster board I attached to the old cheap computer desk. I am going to be making a much larger one, since I have many larger items I am planning on selling. My Ebay store should grow hopefully 10 fold in the coming months , so I need to streamline and make things as efficient and time saving as possible.

    Hey Mikeinreco that "leaning tower of Pisa " in the back there is a work of art. I know how hard is is to stack stuff that high and I tend to have avalanches all the time
    so I do appreciate a good tower. Just don't try and play Jenga with it- been there done that- the results are not pretty.
    Remember... wherever you go... there you are
