We left here at 8am on Tuesday morning, picked up
the Truck in
Waukesa, WI, around 12:15, and got to the place before 12:30,
avoiding too much bad traffic driving through Chicago a bit after
morning rush hour. The building the machines have been stored in
for the last decade (or more) is an old limestone building in
downtown Waukesa, which according to the guy who was trying to
clear out the stuff used to be a brewery - fitting for an old
building near Milwaukee. : )
Argh! That's "Waukesha" - 35 minutes down a country road from me.
You know, if you guys weren't so close-to-the-vest about rescues,
you might be able to recruit free labor (free as in beer) from
the locals if you notified the list.
You're right on the name, I managed to mistype it. I had a couple of
people with me, and we had plenty of people to get the stuff loaded up
actually. Fortunately the guy who had the stuff (Alan) had a forklift
to lift the stuff up to the third story of the building where the
loading dock is... the building is on/in the side of a steep hill, so
the third floor is actually at ground level on the back side of the
building.
