Quick update ;

I've had a locksmith out and he has covered the security for me.
Alarm is going in next week
Electrical fit out is next week
Partitioning will be commenced next week

The racking company will be sending someone out next week for a site visit
I'm looking at second hand Walkie Reach Stacker with a height of 4.5M

The layout of the building is decided, and to those that have heard my thoughts on this, it should be functional and easy to do.

Here is the first of eight benches. I'm using structural pine and the benchtop will be formwood (non structural). I love formwood - everything will be formwood ! Note the CRUDE tools I'm using. Tomorrow I'm picking up Dad's vertical saw, which was made in the 70's and is perfect for cutting timber precisely. The tables are 2.4M X 1.2M. They are massive !




I didn't really have a "container day" for the last container, as most games were still packed ;





So I unpacked the later model games to get a "feel" for the depth of space etc. I snuck in a few games as well. One of the "Lost In Space" games is reserved for Greg. Setting these up was part of the decision making process of the layout of the building.





Again, a basic "layout" of the wall which will house the racks. Heaps of space. I'll finalize the configuration once the Racking company have advised.





So far, with some help from Marco and MartyJ, we have been able to move around 1/3 of the total machines from the storage building today (thanks guys !). I can't move them all at the same time until the racks are in, and the walkie reach stacker is purchased. I can fit another two rows behind the games in the picture, but that back wall is where the racking is going.





So far, it has been the hardest 2 weeks of my life - balancing the business, the move and the fit out. Still a long way to go, but I should be working in there by the end of next week !
