The I-Image experience begins!!!!
« on: November 29, 2012, 08:46:07 AM »
It's here, woop!!! So it was an adventure this morning. The driver was a couple hours early but thankfully our friends at AirGas sent over a forlift and operator to help us out. Then when the driver opens the doors the to the trailer, it was all the way at the front and no chain on the truck. God worked it all out, we had a neighbor run a tow strap and chain across the street when he saw us, then the drive and I had to hang off the crate to keep it from tipping off the forks because the forklift's forks were about2 feet too short to reach the center of the pallet, all I could do is pray it down, it was shakey, but we got it. No coffee needed this morning to get the heart rate up for sure. The thing is freakin huge!Can't wait. I'll post pics throughout the whole process. Next step move it, uncrate it and wait for the M&R wizard to come and show us how it works =). Feels like Christmas came a month early!!!

Don't know who your wizard is but my old bud Geoff Baxter is the lead Guru behind these I believe.
Good luck and keep us posted on progress.

Congrats on wasting your money!!! :)  Seriously though, I do suspect you'll have much success with it.  12 months from now we'll probably be talking about that CH III truck showing up early.  If you have a good profit margin already then 3-5 more jobs per week will give you a great ROI even though you're looking more for the other benefits of the machine.

Mike, don't wait for no stinkin' tech. Set it up and start playing today!!! Seriously, I'm excited for you. I'm sure you'll keep us all posted. From what I saw at SGIA, it looked damn nice.

It's frigin huge Dave!! I would but I don't want to get myself in trouble by messing around with anything, Rich told me be patient for the tech to come and handle that part. It's got lots of goodies on the crate and the whole thing looks very heavy duty. It's pretty impressive looking in person.

Hey Alan, C3 would be nice wouldn't it :D You never know what's behind the next door, and I'm always eager to improve.

Yeah, I know. I was (half) kidding. Do you know how bad it hurt walking by that kick a$$  18-16 CIIID for almost two weeks before the tech got here. All put together but couldn't play with it.  Worth the wait though.

I can only imagine, I mean this thing is cool enough, but a 16 co C3, I'd be wearing a path in the concrete floor pacing in front of it, hahaha
