After a lot of trial and error, including getting the delivery truck stuck in the mud, the second container is in place! We have been trying for a month to get both containers set so we can begin working on building them out for the repair facility and the air fill station.
The first container was delivered but it started raining so we did not feel comfortable bringing the second one in. We waited 2 weeks and tried to set the second one but the soil was too soft and the truck stuck into the mud before reaching the place to put it. After a few conversations with Jeremy and Zac, both of whom have experience with moving these types of units around, we resorted to 3/4″ plywood as a base (after we knocked down the ruts from last time). It worked!
Dave and Coad have already started framing out the repair center and Dave hopes to have the rough framing completed by Tuesday. Then we have to get the electrical put in, install a/c, the insulation, the drywall, flooring and finally the workbenches and shelving! It will take a little more time but we are making progress! Once the repair center is complete, we will build-out the fill station and move the compressor systems.
The goal is to have all of this completed by February-March in time for the March Open House.
