The fine art of making a water pump gasket when you can't find the ones you are suppose to have.

All done for the day!
So in addition to what I said I had loaded previously. I got the wood stove from the water pump department and pipe, the automatic brake riveting machine in the back of the brake department, a metal bench with wheels, a huge box full of extension cords, all the tools from the back room and all the loose air hoses. The truck is very full and a little heavy. Also the big vise that was on the bench that was in the back room. Mom's car is loaded with a box of gaskets, all the remaining flat boxes and a box of plastic shipping tape and the dispenser.

Got Ashley's dump trailer back in to load my second load of water pump core to take out to the house.

Here's some panoramic pictures I took yesterday morning of the 2 main departments of the shop that have been cleared out. The first 2 are of the Water Pump Department and the second 2 are of the Brake Department.
Yesterday a full load of water pump cores (half of the bins in the back) we're hauled out in Ashley's dump trailer which made it easier to unload for sure and Jason took another full load of cleaned brake shoes out in his truck

The progress for the last 2 days have been moving a lot of smaller things out of the building. All except a couple of pieces of equipment are out. Yesterday we finished moving all the lining stock and a lot of the clean brake shoe stock with today we start moving a lot of the water pump core stock out.

This is yesterday's wrecking crew sort a speak, at least it seemed like it sometimes. Lol! Jason, Mom aka Lanny, Joe and Steve. My daughter Amanda also was here and helped her grandmother get some of the gaskets down and boxed up.

The water pump assembly equipment is at its new home. The work bench complete with presses, the metal lathe and big drill press, small drill press and big grinder.

The great move has begun!
Yesterday's move went better then expected considering the bad start to the afternoon. Got the heavy equipment out of the water pump assembly department out and on Joe's flatbed.
Here some pictures that we're taken but the outside one aren't to clear. The bench with press's still mounted, lathe, big drill press and heavy grinder are all on the flatbed, all the small tools and parts are in the green truck.
The first picture is of the water pump department looking in from the door next to the big garage door.

Done bonding. They are a nice dark brown color, this means they have reached the prefect tempature for a full bonding of the brake lining to the shoes. They are on a rack cooling so that they will be ready to be arched and fitted to the drums on Thursday.
