Mid summer I was able to make some new purchases that will take the business in a new direction. I bought a vapour blast unit and compressor and also a polishing wheel as my blasting and polishing provider was retiring.
This meant I had to make space for them and build rooms to house them. I built it all myself but had to get an electrician in to install 3-phase power for the equipment.
This used up a lot of ground floor space that had been used until then to store customer bikes. So, as well as these 2 rooms I built a new office above them and started using the 'old' office to store some bikes.
The workshop is still recovering from the loss of storage space and \there is still a lot of work to do to optimise this.
All of the above meant I could not dedicate a lot of time to working on the bikes so a backlog is currently being worked through.
I still need time to optimise the equipment I bought but this will happen before the end of January.
