We outgrew our previous bulding and have been fighting for space for the last year or so.
Found this building for a steal while almost doubling our space
We have started moving already but is probably going to be a 2 month process as we have to move while still servicing our customers
electricity gets turned on Monday so i can get some decent interior pics then
building is the one in front of the 2 cars with upstairs windows

You hear all these others "moving on up" to better digs and you just couldn't help yourself. lol
That's a good reason to have to move. Congrats,,,
Looks nice!
Now, how much heavy stuff do you have to take up the stairs? ;)
I can't guess the square footage, but it looks big... and in nice shape!
Looks great!
Keep up the good work!
(And keep us posted)
its an old movie theater so the upstairs is only approx 12 x 40. its use was the projection room. its new use will be kids playroom
dimensions are 40 x 80 3200 sq feet
being that its in one of the outlying small villages I was able to get it for a steal. whopping $350 a month. I was able to almost double my space while cutting my rent by more than half
its 20 miles from the house and about 35-40 minutrs from our main metro area where the majority of the customer base is located
One recommendation is make certain all the communication is up and running before you finalize the move. Congrats on the move. Mike
100% agreed. I still have the other lease effective until march so we can ease into new facilities with less disruption as possible
That'll be a nice spot! I can't believe that you were able to rent that much for that little.
The kids will be happy too!
I has 3 months of no internet at the new shop. Torture!
i dont get cell service at new place so going to be deciding on what route to take with that next
The .... will still be there when you get it back Spin.
:)
Edit: Oh an..congrats on the need for more storage, an finding a new spot so big an cheap! Keep us posted liek the others said. You been here long enough, you know of our love for photos. ;)
Sirscrapalot - Have fun with the filling in the blank!
I use a MagicJack for a separate recycling number. It can plug into your router, or hook into a computer. I do E-Waste, so no problem there! ;)
Would a cell signal booster work? There are a lot of them out here, and people seem to like them. Might be worth a shot.
Best of luck with the new building!
going to be choosing between a repeater and magic jack/ type device with call forwarding from existing phone
I use Ooma, both at home and at work.
You buy the Ooma box & plug it into your router.
Ooma basic is essentially FREE, you pay only the sales tax: approx. $3.00/Month.
I use OOma Pro at the office. I get two phone numbers, voice mail, call forwarding & more.
I am more than pleased with the setup.
Your big issue will be if you can connect to the router. I used MagicJack, specifically because I have an option to plug into a computer. My router is in another room, and the landlord is kept happiest this way.
I've heard many good things on Ooma, though. They're both nice systems.
have some pictures

main area is carpeted and at one time was used to sell fireplaces and heaters so each area was set up to look like different rooms

I want a sort of Ben and Jerry's cow next to my office!
The space looks nice and large. For $350/month, you can't complain!
we are in/around the dairy capitol of Michigan. People are wayyy outnumbered by cows.
You know I was all set to just post.."That's cool! Thanks for sharing the photos!"
But you have a huge cow in one of the photos so I'm upgrading your post to..
"That's freaking awesomesauce x 10!"
Seriously tho...nice digs. Looks like you gotta lot of room to fill before having to move again.
An..does the cow have a name? You can't have a mascot of a cow an not have it have a name. Don't make me write PETPAM(People for Ethical Treatment of Plastic Animal Mascots).
Congrats again on the new digs.

Cow is Fondly known as Elsie the cow. It is located directly across the street from us. Strangely enough they have an annual dairy festival as well
Very nice indeed, best of continued success.
