We are all working hard to get the equipment ready for the spring rush.  The lawn equipment has all been gone through and new we are re-painting the white wooden chairs!
   We also have a few new Car-Mate trailers parked out front that are up for sale.  This is the same brand of trailer that we rent and use ourselves for deliveries!
If a trailer holds up well under rental it has be good!
  
 

Our 20x60' Frame Tent

Here is our 20x60' Frame tent.  The crew did an awesome job! 

Below is a picture of the inside of the tent with a couple patio heater to help keep the chill out. 

  These tents are a great idea if you don't want holes drilled into your parking lot or if you would like a tent to go over your driveway safely installed.

 

Spring!

Well spring is in the air and the sun is shinning!  Just gotta love Michigan, it hits 50 degrees out and the shorts and t-shirts come out!
The crew is out setting a large frame tent down-town Grand Rapids so this makes for an exciting day.  Lots of visibility with "Laugh Fest" going on too!   Soon enough we will be renting aerators and power rake.  Bring on the sun!

Tent Cleaning

So things are slowing down and it's time for us to get busy.  All the tents need to be opened up, cleaned (if needed) and tagged for spring.
We are up to the 20 x 30's now, nice to see a colorful one hanging!

The chill is in the air!

After a busy fall with everyone trying to get their last minute outdoor jobs finished we are starting to slow down just a bit.  Which means for us its time to start getting ready for next spring.  First job on the board is getting all the tents opened up, cleaned if they need it and any minor repairs.  This means we will be having tents hanging in the main section for a couple of weeks to come!  Good to stay busy!

Big Party

  This is just one of the party canopys that we had set at the Manor last weekend. The tent crew did a great job drilling holes in asphalt and have the ropes nice and tight!

  They got thru their party dry but the tents didn't! After a late afternoon take down the tents had to be hung up to dry.


  These tents are big and seem to be twice as heavy when they get wet!

  This is the same tent hanging inside the shop.  It is 20' x 40' long and non of it can be touching the ground, not even the ropes or they stay damp.  A damp tent will turn to mold and ruin the canopy! 

Sure feels like fall out! We are starting to rent the patio heaters and sides with the tents now. Still staying busy so that's a nice plus to fall time. Add in the mix log splitters, chippers and aerators and the days seem to cruise right along :) I sent the camera out with the boys on a tent job so cross your fingers that we have some new pictures to post soon.
