The station is moved

Share
Everyone,
Well it is done, the station is sitting on her new foundation and after a little work to fine tune where she sits, she can be taken off the rollers that carried her and she will come to rest on the foundation.  This work will take place on Monday which means we can probably start putting things back in by later next week.  I have a ttached a few photos and will put more in a folder on the Yahoo Group so you can see what it looks like now that she is moved.
I want to thank everyone who helped make this day possible and all those who were able to take time off of work to make it for the weekday move.  As I mentioned the other day, we woudl have much rather make the move on a Saturday so everyone could make it, but we felt getting the building moved today was better than waiting a few weeks for the next time we had a free Saturday.
Please watch your e-mail for the schedule of days that we are planning to go work getting stuff back in the building, we are going to need all the hands we can get.
Thanks,
KC
