EXTENDED POWER OUTAGE

[sr1355]

Yesterday (3/8) south central Michigan had some very high winds causing lots of damage to the power grid. We lost power yesterday (3/8) morning and it is not expected to be restored until early Monday 3/13. We are obviously not able to run the shop with no power, creating shipping labels, or even have reliable internet service. On top of the power outage we also are closed next week so unfortunately orders that are still in production this week will not be completed until our return on 3/19/2017.

Our apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause our customers, some things are just out of our control and this is one of them....

Time to hang.
Or get a "new" machine. ?

That will work but imagine after a month or two of using that pumping out orders, your legs will be about the size of a horse and just as strong.

Hope you get your power back soon and everyone is OK.
Similar situations here but I got lucky. Power outages to the North and South of me. Phew.

I learned how to thread inject using one of those when I was 7. So verrrry long ago! Wish I had one today.

So sorry to hear of your situation. I hope your power will have a speedy recovery.

Iguess try to relax and put the down time to use. Not sure how that would work, however you are a creative person so I think you will find a way to make positive use of this period of forced quiet time.
We will send positive energy your way as I am sure other members will.

There are those things completely out of your control and can't be helped. Customers will understand or they won't. At least you are being preemptive and announcing it!
(and if you have it don't forget this would qualify for an interruption of business claim!)
