Press moving weekend

Everything went as smoothly as expected, with the exception of a migraine that knocked me out for a good portion of the day Saturday. I was rendered useless at the start of the second run to the storage unit and Adam even had to pull over to side of the freeway so I could puke on the way back to the house. (Thank goodness for that though, there are few things as awful as throwing up in someone's car.)

A HUGE thanks to everyone who showed up to help us move my printing equipment into the garage over the weekend! Whether you lifted heavy objects, cleaned something or watched babies, we couldn't have done it without you! A special thanks to Adam, Tony, Art, Shawn and Andy for filling in while I was out of commission. Here are a few pics from the first moving adventure:

Adam running the forklift, putting the last piece of equipment into the garage; an 1891 Chandler & Price treadle press. They moved it in like a 1-ton piece of butter.

There's Foreman Ava, on the job again, late in the day after I could stand to be outside in the daylight with dark glasses and a hat on. Adam looks like he's really concentrating, and I appreciate the fact that he didn't drop my cast iron baby.

Here's the print shop all set up. There are more type cabinets on the wall to the left, just outside the frame. And now there are boxes of stuff piled all over the cabinets, desk and floor, but that's just temporary while we finish up other projects around the house.

Today the kitchen sink went in, the molds were finished up for the stretch of countertop around the sink, the marble for the other countertop was test-polished, the garage door finally went in and probably a bunch of other things happened. More pictures when I can manage...
