Title: Move is Complete
Post by: regalman190 on May 01, 2014, 05:49:33 pm
Well, the move is complete. Relocated the business from New York to Florida. What a wild ride it's been.
But you can't beat the weather. Final move day was in the 40's and rainy. Two days later in South Florida and it's pushing 90!

Being from Syracuse I know what you left. Good move. It will take some "getting use to" time but you won't find and snow blowers here :)

Not too far from you Paul. I was in Rochester. Weather is so much better here. I know it's hot, but way better than sub zero temps and snow for 6 months.

Congrats!  You'll love the sunshine state.  I'm sure once you get to where you can deal with the summer heat, you'll be happy you made the move.

Takes a good 3-4 years to get use to the heat and then its still hot in the Summer. But great weather.

Well shoot!  You're 15 minutes down the road from me.  Now I know where to send my canvas inquiries since I'm all done with that stuff.  PM me if you need any help with local suppliers for whatever.  I'm sure you already know Manart is right there off Atlantic.  When we get the boat in the water you'll have to come out with us one day.

June how long has it been waiting to get wet?

It's been on the hard since August of last year, Mike.  And we're really anxious to finish up, but still, after all this time, want it done right.  So, no rush - just get it done.  I think we're about 3 weeks away from splashing it, but who knows.  If customers get us busy, it'll be a while.  Such is life.... sigh.

For good reason; our weather has sucked this spring. there were still traces of snow in the bush in the beginning May and with a few exceptions it has been unusually cool and rainy. Around here the farmers haven't even started to seed and the 3 days of rain they're calling for won't help.

Yesterday was gorgeous though---sunny and 18 C high 60's F.

Thanks June. Manart is actually a few blocks away, which has been great. No more waiting two days and no more paying shipping. Also Miami Corp is in Jacksonville so that's one day shipping. We'd like to go out on your boat when it's ready. Heck, we'll bring the beer, or wine.....or both.

Mike....the season is different but it has to be better than NY. I have work booked and still getting calls. Much better than NY. I was pretty much doing nothing for five or six months. The calls would start coming in right about now. Especially after the lousy winter we had.
