Love, LOVE my team!

I’ve said it before, but gotta say it again, just LOVE the team that’s working with me these days. It’s like a sports team, it’s all about chemistry. The three core members of the team just click and I hear laughter all day long in the shop. That’s a wonderful thing. We work [...]

BCM_Construction_Days 65 & 66: Siding almost completed

Another two day update. The MBA crew continued with the siding and the roof on the building. We’re very closed to have a closed in building. AUGUST 23 You can see the back of the building is completely sided, the scaffolding in the foreground is for the workers to get up to put the roof [...]

New tools from Flanders Scientific

Visited the FSI offices on Friday (they’re only 15 minutes from my office) where they showed me some new tools they will be implementing very shortly. Can’t quite tell you what they are yet until they make the official announcements, but they’re added convenience for the end user. That’s what I love about these guys. [...]

BCM_Construction_Days 62 and 63: Siding going on

Here’s a two day update and in fact I need to stop by in the morning to get a few more photos of where they ended up today. Storms rolled in tonight and then I had a dinner engagements. But the building is moving along at a steady clip thanks to the guys from Metal [...]

BluRay BluRay BluRay!

All of a sudden we’re creating a whole lotta BluRay discs these days. NTSC and PAL for screenings all over the world. Sounds like many film festivals are now accepting BluRay discs as a playback format and of course, it’s a lot cheaper to do one of these than an HDCAM tape. So we’re in [...]

BCM_Construction_Day 56: Slab and a Building!

Today was a very big step forward in the construction of our new facility. For the first time, we’re building up, rather than tearing down! It all started before dawn with a big concrete pump truck and ended with the delivery of our building! 5:30AM Metal Building Associates have already poured almost half of the [...]

BCM_Construction_Days 52 – 55: Final prep for slab!

The action has been fast and furious the past week or so as we get ready for a VERY big day tomorrow! If the weather holds up, the Slab will be poured and the building arrives! But first, some of the work that’s been going on at the job site. Here’s a [...]

A lesson in ethics from our business bank (not the good kind…)

SunTrust Bank and the SBA have helped us finance this venture. We’ve been banking with SunTrust for a number of years and if you saw the [...]
