Something of Interest

I thought that you might be interested in seeing the new customer Dad got. These are shipping containers that he installs labels on.

He has been able to work in the early morning before it gets too hot. It takes about an hour per container.

Dad does a lot of intense praying as these containers are moving back and forth over his head.





Plenty of work to be done as you can see!




The next photo shows how it looks like skyscrapers the way they are stacked.


This next photo is Don working on one of his customer's trucks.








This is a job that should have pulled us back into the black. Faulty substrate caused Dad a nightmare of working until 3:00 a.m. and then having to return by 7:00 for a couple of days. The entire week was made up of 18 hour + days. As it turned out he was only able to get back the cost of the good substrate but not all the hours he put in and we "ate" the cost of about 300 signs that were unacceptable. Doh!!! No profit there!

wow. I talked to dad about the lunched signs- that sounds like a fun crazy time.
I didn't know about the huge containers, though. That looks awesome!
