I hope I'm not out of line but, would it be a big issue if it took six months to sell a production run? Is it a case of not enough storage room available to justify it? The product would sell. The question is, how quickly?

You're fine, John.
Last I knew many many years ago from 8 turns a year was great.
We have batches that turn 2 or 3 times a week, bad ones once a month or once every two months.
Our problem is we ran out of room 4 or 5 years ago, but with Brian hiring on, he has made everything more efficient and created more room with shelving and woodworking right down to reducing label storage area from about 40 x10 to 5x5.
Now I think he and Andy stay awake at night thinking about what to do next.
And they know if the idea is good, the checkbook is in my office.
But space is at a premium, and we must be careful.
The road is turning into a five-lane highway, so we want to wait about 2 or 3 years and maybe up to five years to build the building we need. We cannot buy what we need as it dont exist.
And we dont finance anything period, and we know the millions it will take, so we hedge our bet on the five-lane hwy as we have a perfect spot to sell for a retail business.
The bottom line is terrible turns cost money.
