Joris-
I wouldn't call EASY clean...

Doug, ironically, we have a hot tub, the guy who built the place built an apartment inside. There is a three man Jacuzzi tub in a wall to wall pink marble bathroom. I haven't been able to talk Big John into a dip though.

Yes, especially when it is in a wall to wall pink bathroom.

Guys, we need to get back on topic or this will be moved to off-topic. Also, Sebastian is very tall so he might not fit with two other men in the three man tub...

Seriously, thanks to everyone for your patience, moving has been hell, but we will be organized for the first time ever so hopefully we can be better able to help everyone get their cars back on the road. Sebastian, Gerry, and the others that have stopped by the old place know the mountains of dis-organized stuff that was the old place.

Dave-
Here is the said hot tub! And yes, that is a urinal, because nothing goes with pink marble like a urinal, real class!

For all you guys who call me looking for parts that I can't put my hands on because they are at the old shop, your luck is about to change. We are making the final push to get everything to the new shop. We even got a tractor trailer box delivered and plan to fill every inch of it, and get another if needed. So over the next couple of months we hope to clean out the old warehouse and pack up the new one. You never know how much you have, until you have to move it...

The move continues. Last two loads were 911 motors and lots of sheet metal.

One day this may be over....

I was hoping today would be the last load before the snow hits, but I think I have a couple loads to go. But the place is starting to look like the Whoo's Christmas after the Grinch got through with it. I did some before and after pics so you can see how much we have cleaned from the shelves.
And yes, in case your wondering it is very cold in there, in the mid 20s, no heat, no water, just piles and piles of greasy parts.
When was the last time you saw the whole back of a pickup with nothing but Porsche glass, 90% of it 356 glass. I had been putting off moving the glass, so I decided to do it all at once today. I'm tired....

The last gasps of the old warehouse are coming. How does the story go? And then there were none?

The end of an era, I pulled the last car from the old warehouse in Gloversville. There is probably one truckload of stuff left, but it truly was a sad moment.
