I'll be there the weekend of the 13th... not sure if I ever solidified that date with you.

Hey man, cool, get in touch with me. It's my wife's Bday that night but I will be around all weekend installing the Kaeser Airtower.

I get in on the Friday and we have some sort of gig to do that night... then Sat is the big show and then we leave on Monday... so probably Sunday would be best for me.  We only have the haunted house/xmas thing to do on Sunday and that is in the evening.

Just me, my trusty Black Lab Patty, a fork lift, circular saw, and crowbar. Getting there!

And the Shur-loc accelerator :)

Congrats on the purchase and good luck in the future

Thanks everyone! I will post some more pics tomorrow. Everything will be in place, electrical connected, and then gas connect on Wed morning. That leaves Kaeser Airtower  by Friday (hopefully) and M&R tech mid next week. Slow goings and I might be crazy doing it by myself but it's almost there. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel - I mean dryer!

Cool, Black Dog "Guardian of the Stairs"!

We found we needed a transformer for our Sporty the day of
install. M&R had one here the very next day after the tech called HQ at 4pm.

In very, very cool news Mr. Hoffman graced me with his presence yesterday! I haven't even opened the doors yet and he has already been here. If that is not good luck I don't know what is!

More pics soon!

I finished the dryer yesterday. I just have two wipe down and loosely connect the belt and adjust for the next couple of weeks. You can't tell but it is more than two feet from the wall so servicing will be easy.

Today and tomorrow is the Kaeser and smart piping and then on Wed I have the M&R tech coming to install the press. Can't wait as I have a ton of shirts to print!

Hey Everyone,
Attached is a rough "time frame" compilation of pics during the install. I plan on coming up with something nice for the office wall and will get it framed and the solid gold treatment, all that sort of thing. But everything came together smoothly and M&R was awesome as usual and I had the pleasure of Mr. Hoffman even stopping by! A few small hickups here and there with electrical (building is 240) and the Kaeser Airtower (loose fitting) but I am now up and running. Next is the other 3/4th's of the warehouse space to get ready. I have temp screen and ink rooms with temp and humidity control now but will be building correct ones come after the holidays. And everything else that is needed. Being it is just me it takes some serious time due to actually having to print and stay on top of the books but I should be done by Spring or Summer hahaha. Coming soon I plan on activating the band thread again as that is pretty much all I am doing. Already did a bunch of orders this weekend so pics soon!

Awesome stuff Brandon.  Good luck with all that new equipment and setup.  You obviously know what you are doing.


Not to hijack your topic but I will post about some of our new equipment (some used) soon in a new thread.

I think 2014 is going to be a great year.
