Tom,
Due to several emergencies my schedule is quickly filling up and not
becoming mine.
If you still need my truck, can we meet at Harbor Freight tomorrow
morning (Friday) between 9:15 and 9:30 to get the pallet jack?
Thanks,

Last Thursday Dale, Dan and I cleared out the bathroom nearest the
warehouse door and some more of the server room and main room.
Last Tuesday, Goose and I cleared out one half of the main room. All
the stuff on and under the white tables are boxed or trashed. The
white tables are stacked against the wall, and that half of the
carpet is swept and vacuumed. Goose and I worked on the server room a
while before we quit. The last set of shelves is ready to disassemble.
Tonight, Goose and I will work on emptying the lab gear in the second
bathroom if we can find pallets to put the gear on, and we'll
continue clearing the server room. There are miscellaneous items on
the warehouse floor which need to be wrapped on pallets or put in
gaylords too.
:: Bad News
We are out of bare pallets.
Our donated fork lift truck is useless. The transmission went out
sometime last week. The cost of fixing the transmission is equal to
the value of the lift truck so RBHS decided not to fix it. Therefore,
we have no forklift going forward.
There is one forklift left at the warehouse. We have to share it with
RBHS which has a crew working nights to clear their inventory. Bob
Betz said RBHS is going to rent a second forklift so he can speed up
operations. However, we only have use of the forklifts when Bob isn't
using them.
The warehouse management has begun to clean and repair the walls and
floors. Bob cleared and roped off a 40' by 80' area where the
cleaning crew will begin work. Our inventory was condensed in one 40'
square area to create the cleaning area.
I have severely reduced access to the RBHS pickup and flatbed trucks.
They are in use most of the time, day and night. RBHS has a crew
moving equipment and inventory to their new plant and a crew working
on 400' hoses for the federal government in the evenings.
:: Plans
Mike and Dale are out of town this week so I am short handed. Dale
has a pickup truck, but he's gone until some time next week. Fr.
Robert has a small pick up truck which is probably large enough to
transport a pallet jack so I'll arrange a time to meet him at Harbor
Freight, buy a pallet jack and drop it at the warehouse.
I also need to buy or find 6-12 bare pallets. We've used all the
undamaged pallets and need more. I'll also need a pickup truck to get
the skids to the warehouse.
There are three Saturdays left before we must vacate: Oct. 17, 24,
31. It would be well to shoot for the 24th. If we can't move by then,
we have the 31st. The warehouse management wants us out before the
31st so they can clean and repair the offices and the warehouse. They
actually want us out now, but that isn't going to happen.
What we need:
- at least two people working the warehouse each Tu. and Th. evening;
four would be better
- 6 skids on which to plastic wrap gear
- a pickup truck to get a pallet jack at Harbor Freight and skids
- schedule one Saturday to move inventory to SBWD, hopefully on Oct. 24
- rent a 24'-26' truck to move our inventory on Oct. 24
- a crew of 3-5 people on a Saturday to move inventory to SBWD on
Oct. 24
