Big Changes Causing Delays

I'm sooooo sorry about the gap between blog posts. I can assure everyone that the reasons were well justified.

We've been going through a myriad of changes all at once here at Iwata-Medea. The biggest change of all was the move to our new warehouse location. Let me tell you, this was one EPIC move. We were at our last location for over 16 years, so we had alot of STUFF to go through. Some of it we kept, but alot of it we threw away. Here's a little chronological journey of the process and some of the highlights.


The mountain of boxes is building...


Kristin had great spirit about this move!


Walls are down, desks EXPOSED!


Loading the trucks...

Unfortunately, when we got to our new building our office construction was not complete. So we had to work out of make-shift offices in the warehouse.


Insulation is in the walls of the new office. This will help cut down on noise.


More fun stuff.....


Will we EVER move in....?


Will we work here in the receiving dock 4ever???

Well, two weeks ago we finally moved into our freshly painted and reconstructed offices and we are very happy with the results.


Front office area. Our Sales Managers Brooke and Laura picked all of the colors.


Back office with view into accounting suites.


A peak inside the men's commode. I hope it will always be this clean.......


Stocking the shelves...


Paints filling up the racks...


Racks going up.. note the new warehouse pet; our CAT forklift. It's ELECTRIC!


A very happy Tammy in her clean and comfortable production area.


A very happy Greg Ryon our production manager. (I wonder if he's happier about moving into the new warehouse or about the office people moving out of the warehouse!?)

We're still under construction here as we will finish our conference room and break room in early 2009. But at least the hardest part of the move is behind us now. It actually went surprisingly well all considering. Thanks to everyone at Iwata Medea for all their hard work in making this happen. We're in our new home.
