That loan isn’t to purchase baubles and beads. It is for capital improvements and to replenish the operating reserve account. I’m sure every area has a wish list for new equipment. Pretty good chance various committees could burn through the whole amount if that path was taken.

Chris, I have been involved in many capital expenditure equipment purchases. Some of them go quickly & smoothly. Others not so much. It just takes time & patience.
Jayson, I sent RFI to those two companies you suggested. Hopefully we will hear back soon.

Would replacing the filters 2x over the manufactures limit count as woodshop exspansion! Cause if not we basically just got 500knto have in the bank

The filters are already on order [and might be here]. We are waiting on additional parts [already on order] though before swapping out the filters [I believe they are the threaded inserts the filters screw into].
The parts from Felder have taken an extremely long time from order to delivery. And you’ve been around long enough to know, doing things with volunteer labor slows things down even more.
But the filter replacement [from what I know] was not contingent on the SBA loan.

The filters are here. We are waiting on additional parts required for the PM. The issue is not the board or a loan, but rather shipping / supply chain/ production back log issues.

I bet the board is behind the supply chain conspiracy!

Something like this?
My favorite “surprise” sticker at Ladybird. It was very funny and I do think it was Pearce, so I blame him.
