If you read the blog frequently, you know that the new building has been up for about a year now, and we are STILL not moved in… Some of that is by design – I didn’t want to rush refinishing the interior to try and get in there before Winter, and now that things have warmed up, we’re just too busy!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a new problem is developing – stuff just keeps accumulating – making moving in a bigger task with every day that passes! I now call it “the world’s most expensive storage building…” The new plan is to get into here sometime this year – it’s this year’s big goal…<\/p>\n

When customers come by, they always seem to get a big kick out of all of the panels upstairs, so I thought I’d share some photos with the rest of you guys – especially since I just straightened up a couple of weeks ago. What we really need up here are shelves – I have them all picked out too, but again, we can’t get into all of that before this space is insulated and finished off – AAAGGGHHHH!!!!!<\/p>\n

Finally, last week another center section that we acquired was shipped in, and then later that day, I was making arrangements to possibly purchase 2 more bonnets. After I got off the phone, I actually caught myself looking up “hoarder” on Wikipedia – I’m NOT kidding!<\/p>\n

I think I’m safe here, though – according to Wikipedia, I’m only a hoarder if I’m the only person who thinks this stuff has value. Luckily, I know at least some of you dig this junk as much as I do – Phew!<\/p>\n

P.S. If you see anything that can help your project, give us a ring – there are one or two customer-owned panels in these photos waiting to be worked on, but for the most part, every part in these photos needs to find a home on a road-going E-Type!<\/p>\n
