The Move Pics and Updates!

I think that "Awful pale mustard" is what used to be called Buttermilk.

A once popular tome of masonary paint M'lud.
Favoured in the days when white didn't cover well, or the original surface had several contrasting colours.

Consider it an undercoat that'll show you the bits you've missed.

Today's been all painting work, so we've got the workshop walls finished off and also painted the floor in what will be the moulding room.

And then I did a quick fix on the roof where the old heater was, as the flue had fallen off while the guys were removing it.  The 'Upside Down Bucket' method will keep the water out until after the Easter weekend and we can get a professional in.

More good progress

Good use of static grass in that exterior picture.

No pics today but we got the floorboards finished upstairs and painted the outer edge of the workshop floor, so that we can put the racking/tables on it while we do the rest of it.  Tomorrow we need to get the plasterboard and stud walls finished ready for the electrics to be finished off on Wednesday and the carpets to go in on Thursday.  I think we're going to miss out on painting the rooms all pre-carpet so we'll just have to cover them properly and paint afterwards.

We also spent a few hours today casting and prepping a load of orders, so there's about 40 orders going out in Tuesday's post and then another batch on Thursday.  We're trying to keep things ticking over as much as we can as we need the orders to keep coming in while we get through all of the moving costs.

More impressive progress

I hope you've managed to address Matt J's concerns for the safety of that mezzanine, "3x2 CLS with OSB board on it" means nothing to this antipodean, "450mm centres" makes sense

CLS = Canadian Lumber Standard - (Kiln dried construction grade softwoods).

Today we've been putting the insulation and ceiling boards into the laser machine room and getting the last few wall boards up as well.  We also popped the window in as well but it still needs framing properly.

Over in the packaging room Jess has grabbed a couple of the desks and put those in the middle to make a little stock packaging area for show prep.

The workshop has had the outer edge painted grey so that we can start fitting the new racking to the walls and get some moulds over to the new place.

And we've moved the first batch of moulds over!  These are all the master moulds which will live in the casting room, so it's only about 1/8th of the total moulds in Pendraken HQ.  It's a start though!

Tomorrow we need to get the laser machine finished completely ready for the carpets coming on Thurs.  We'll need to skim/plaster/paint after they've gone in, but we can cover the floor easily enough.  The electrician is onsite again as well to get all of the lighting and sockets finished off on the ground floor.
