We just started construction today? We had a lot of problems with the school suporting our building program so we moved out to a local empty factory.
The owner went belly up and walked away one day and left all the equipment and tools in the shop. we made an offer to the land lord that if he gave us the use of the shop for the next 4 weeks we the team would clean out all the junk. he said ok.
Then we found the owner of the shop and told him that if he donated all the machines and tools to out team we would give him a tax write off, this way he would not have to pay the back rent he owed or pay to remove all the equipment. he said ok.
Then we got a local garbage company to donate a dumpster for us to dump the trash and garbage, last night 2 adults and 2 students loaded 1.96 tones of junk in the dumpster. today we filled a 2nd dumpster with more than last nights total.
Not too shabby........
