||
The people with me and the dogs are Tom and Patty-Mae Haycock from Las Vegas NV. they are customers and friends and drove all the way here to move us! The three small poodles are their traveling companions. It took the 53ft van of Toms and a 25ft rented truck to get us here, and a LOT of work. Our thanks to everyone who helped! | ||

||
The shop really looks great, it is even more impressive than the photos had shown. | ||
That sure is beautiful country up there, I think I will start looking to see about a possible move. Regards, Jim Moore Punta Gorda, Fl |

Tomorrow
he will lay the water line. I'm going out in the morning and help pick
up around the south side of the building and try to get some rock in before
the rain. The plan is to bring eddie out Saturday when you come over
and we can have a short meeting. Next week I'm meeting with Dwayne Hawk, a
local contractor from over by Loudon to line up getting the septic system
put in. Here are a couple of pics from today. |

Pictures 1 & 2 when put together show the entire property from the road entrance. The green is where ours starts.` The building is going to be up on that back knoll overlooking the rest of the property. The people in the two houses are very nice and thrilled we are relocating there. They are very excited about the airplanes and have kept an eye on the progress. They visit us whenever we are over there. |

Currently, here in Hendersonville, we have just under 2000 square feet which we rent. We are proud to say that we have outgrown this facility. Having secured a new lot in Tennessee we are now in the process if building our own new plant there. This new facility is 60' by 120' feet providing us with 7200 square feet of manufacturing and storage of kits, wingbags and accessories ready for shipping. After the building is complete we will be setting up some new and/or duplicate manufacturing processes there before the move. The new office will also be set up before the move. Preparing the new facility this way will ease our move and help to provide you, our cherished customers with seamless and uninterrupted service. We are really looking forward to the move and we hope to share some of the process with you. We plan to add a few pictures from time to time to this page to help document and let you see exactly what's going on. Here's hoping you have as much fun with this move as we do! Caroline and Dennis
