Well after a lot of planning and hard work Janet and I are finally almost finished with Fun-Tronics new building. Today will be the first day for Janet doing business in her new building. They are still laying the stone on the front of the building, but pretty much everything else is done. Took a lot of work moving everything to the new building but with great friends everything went well.   happydrinkers

Big room is now filled with all of Fun-Tronics inventory. Took several days to get the pallet racks up and inventory moved in over the weekend. Lots of work.  tounge

        Looks like a fun place Rod.  Is this is for warehouse / restoration and retail sales?  Sort of looks like the building is in the country?

Warehouse and retail sales. Building is on the edge of town on a back street. Just a block away from where Fun-Tronics was.

It looks super Rod. I wish you and Janet great success! You're hard-working, good people, and you deserve it.
 Where are we going to hang the deer when you invite me out for a hunting trip? Aahh, we can just put some plastic down on the floor in the big room!
