I need to get moving. Catch you all later!

 

[db1959]

That's good money!

I know. It paid for my golf once a week. I had an old briggs mower that smoked like crazy so I didn't smell much but burning oil. lol

Learned a little while ago that at our manufacturing plant in PA, our lead contractor and some sub's that he hired fried a new $250K machine on our new main production line. We can't do a thing without this machine....
Contractor and Subs will no longer be working with us...

Whoa! Hope the contractor has insurance, he won't after this is settled.

 

[chocktaw2]

Later db!

Azars, haven't had that in 20 yrs or better.

 

[SEIndSAM]

so are people getting a temp layoff?

Some people will, yes. Totally sucks.
Doesn't effect me, I'm sales, but it sucks for the 15 or so people that will have nothing to do now...

Azars owns the Back 40 Junction
Not the same as it used to be.

 

[chocktaw2]

Not a fan of the Azar's chain, Frisch's on the other hand

Oh, there is more to it than that. Turns out the contractor ordered the wrong machine, and in trying to "fix" the machine to do what we needed it to do, completely fried it.
This machine is made in France. The company says lead time for a replacement machine is 8 months....

The French company has a "demo" machine in Antwerp that we can lease short term while we are waiting for our correct replacement. But the cost to expedite a 10,000 pound 12'x20' machine from Antwerp Belgium to Pittsburgh is going to be expensive and time consuming. The French said we can have it within 30 days, but I will believe it when I see it.

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

Afternoon ct2!

 

[SEIndSAM]

Howdy Gman, CM....

That is just nuts Sam. Wrong current? A lot of stuff from Europe is set to run on 440dc I think. Could be wrong though.
