She cracked!

I managed to talk my wife into letting me build some stock, for my enthusiastic clients, out there. Which us exciting.. Because, I haven't built a damn thing, in weeks.. Selling the house is a pain, huh?

It's for a great cause, though.. I promise good things will come.

Additionally... Buy my house! :D

Our purchase is solely residing on the sale of this condo. Then, it's off to the new shop!

New shop?

There's absolutely no guarantee that this is going down.. I mean, the offer has been accepted. Financing won't be an issue.. But, I am a pessimist. So it may blow up, at any moment! 

Nonetheless..

This could be the new Killer Tables, Killer Workshop.. Maybe.. If things keep going along smoothly.

There's a ton of room, for killing and tabling.. Despite my lousy photography skills. So, I am hoping that this will boost production! As well as offer some storage space.. Maybe some sponsor banners.. Who knows! But, I've sure got a lot empty walls, for advertising. ;)

The downside to all this, of course.. Is there's no production as of lately. Several people have been asking for tables.. And there's just nothing I can do. Which is killing me.. All this damn free time and nothing to table! I need to table! But, I can't even..

Bad Home Depot. Bad..

I've been gradually upgrading my tools, to the new green Ryobi gear, with mostly success.. Although, the orbital sander had begun making some hideously concerning noises, lately.. And after only a month! It's terribly jittery and really rough..  Weird..

Now, I have had nothing buy success with my Ryobi tools.. So, let's chalk it up to a bad build, or something.. I dunno. Either way, it's still new, and I really like it! Because it's still so new, I could easily just exchange it, for an identical model, right?... Right?

No such luck, kid.. Here's a local place, in town, where you can get it fixed, though.

Wait... What? 30 day return policy on power tools.. But, I am late, by a week? Ouch.. Way to leave me stranded with a busted tool, Home Depot. Thank you, very much.. I didn't say anything, or make a fuss. Just got the managers name, and said thank you.. So unhelpful. It's still under warranty!

At least I am not building anything right now.. Or I would be seriously be out of luck!.. Or, I guess I could just buy a new one.. Put the old one in the box, and return it.. 

They'll never know!

Okay.. I'll do things the ligit way.. I have a support ticket in, on the ryobi site. My 37 day old sander, likely qualifies, for the 2 year warranty.. And if it doesn't... I am buying a bloody Dewalt.. ;)

Upgrading workshop

Maybe I am a little early for assumptions.. But, it seems the local market, here in London, is after an expensive price tag.. So much so, that the object of desire is less important than what it costs.. Call it bragging rights.. Call it snobby.. I don't concerns myself with your preferences. It's not my bank account. I am just trying to help out.

The majority of my clientèle is split between students and non-londoners.. Which is strange.. But, I am perfectly okay with that! I love students. There's no confusion, when it comes to them. They're after something that looks great, at a reasonable price! I love it. So, why leave? Well.. It's time for an upgrade!

That's right. I am going to upgrade the shop. Or.. As my wife calls it; "Buy a nicer house." Whatevs. I get a better shop.. Whatever it's attached to, is a bonus. Just give me my power tools and mandatory naughty calendar, an I am set.. Why do shops always have that swimsuit calendar? Ever notice that?

My new head of operations should be much more better, for the clients I am after. Let Londoners spend foolishly. But, I don't want you folks burning hundreds of dollars on something that I can easily reproduce, for less. That would be unethical! And noncompetitive..

Sometimes you get what you pay for.. And sometimes you just find someone who enjoys making people happy. I insist that you take advantage, before the freaks swarm in, and shatter my generous nature.

Now.. Let's have fun and make some Killer Tables!

Er. Scratch that. I am banned from making tables. Wife's orders.. At least until the house is sold.

Temporarily out of order

Just while the house is selling.. I can't have tables and weird smells, lingering around the place. It may effect the market potential..

Moving? Wait, what?

Yeah, that's right! I am packing up, and moving to a better shop! Keep an eye open, for updates on that..

But don't worry! I am not going back to Nova Scotia, just yet. I'll stick around and make you folks some more Killer Tables, for a bit.
