I miss the tool deliveries and installs...sort of. ;-) Good luck with your ramp-up and overhaul of the new-to-you equipment! My last job was doing capital procurement for a semiconductor company.

We started in one and have slowly expanded until we are in three of the four. Our only neighbor in our building is our landlord who runs an air conditioning and heating business. This comes in quite handy though since he has a sheet metal shop for part of his business. We've been able to have him help us build connectors for our winnower expansions as well as help us with our chimney for our roaster. I don't think we could have put the factory together the way we have had it not been for many kind neighbors. For instance it was our other neighbor, Brian, who runs a metal fabrication factory who unloaded all our equipment with his forklift. He's also been invaluable helping us with mechanical problems as we restore our antique machinery. Even though both Art and I are very technical, the community has been invaluable in helping us do quite a lot of the technical work. I don't think we could have found a better spot for our factory if we tried just because of all the help we received from our neighbors. There are four large units in our building.

I look forward to read some more about the restoration of the machines and to see pictures of the job you have done with the new winnower. Your are doing a lot of work and it all pay out to produce a fabolous chocolate. The story is really very interesting.
