Mark,

I don't have the pleasure of meeting you, and from what I have read, you must be one-helluva guy. Similar things have happened to me in the recent past... things WILL turn around for the better. I would bet that your next venture knocks the socks off of the first...

Best of Luck to ya

I know it's not much, but at any of our 914 breakfasts or lunches, your burgers (or breakfast) are on me.

Mark,

Sorry to learn of your misfortune (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif)

You're a good guy and you care about what you do and who you do it for. The order of things will set you right as long as you stay true to your ideals.

Hang in there man! This too shall pass....

Thanks for the support everyone. This situation has been brewing to awhile and I've been searching extensively for some smaller shop space to cut my overhead. But Napa and the surrounding areas doesn't seem to have anything but 2500+ sq ft and I only need 1500. I'll still be searching for this elusive prize shop space while at home, but since this recent event I can't afford to hold out hope any longer. It's time to take action before the whole business gets sucked out of existance.

Mark,
You are too talented and too great a resource to just evaporate.
You are needed.
What can we do to help?

Mark,
I assume that it is not lack of work that is the problem? Because if it was, I can throw some work your way! You should move down closer to your customer base if you are forced to move. Let me know if I can be of any help.

Patrick, it's not lack of work, although I might have to kick two deadbeat projects to the curb, which would open things up.

Kelly, I didn't forget about you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Roger, I'm looking for 1500 sq ft at around $1 per square foot (or less of course).

I'm possibly working out something with Brandon to reduce the space I occupy and therefore the price I'm paying. This might make it possible for me to stay in the shop space.

Don't be down friend. If you're as good as the rest of these guys say you are, the cream will rise to the top. Wish we weren't 2500 miles apart - the only help I can offer is a slap on the back. Lots of us have been through the down periods, and I know this doesn't help a bit, but...things WILL improve!

Look at the following you have here! Think these people will forget - NO WAY!

Just don't let it blind you from your future. Try to shake it off & go on to the next level. You'll do well!

Good fortune.......it'll come!

Mark,

I have not had the pleasure of meeting you face-to-face yet, but have always enjoyed your contributions to the community. Also was hoping to enlist your services soon...

I'm just over the hill in Santa Rosa and will offer my assistance in any possible way. I have a truck if needed and an able body. Really.

I hope the situation is resolved quickly and with out major casualties.

Michael

Sorry to hear about this Mark. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I had heard there were problems but I didn’t know this was official (Teach me to leave town for a few days). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I hope this works out for you (and not just because you’re building my new engine).

Thank Bill, I've had a ton of support ((IMG:style_emoticons/default/smiley_notworthy.gif)) and I'm working on a few options right now that might let me stay in shop space and not have to work at home. I'll know on Wed or Thurs. I couldn't have even hoped to turn things around without the support of my friends. They literally saved my business. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) Every project I have the privilege to work on will be because of them. I can't express enough gratitude.
