Well after a wonderful trip to Vancouver Island on May 8, we came home with a bill of sale for the picker, carder and pin drafter for processing our alpaca fibre.
When I went to the bank and asked them if they would lend us the money for the machinery and to put up a building I can not believe their comments. I was told that they probably would not consider the machinery for collateral as it is specialized equipment. I am not sure why that would make any difference. If anything that makes it more valuable in my opinion. There is not a ton of it out there and there is more demand for the use of this equipment than there are places to have your fibre processed. That makes no sense at all to me.
Anyway, I will go and pick up the equipment in a couple months when we can take one of our trucks out and transport it back ourselves. As for setting up the shop, well that may just take a little longer than I had hoped for. Right now I am still really ticked with the bank, and it may take a bit for me to calm down.
Anyway, on a lighter note, the weekend on the island was wonderful and I met some truly delightful people. The sun was shining, the grass was green and there were flowers everywhere. Back here the grass is just starting to finally green up.
I will keep everyone posted how goes the battle to get my building, and when I will be able to start picking and carding fibre.
Have a great day, and always be thankful for what we have in life.
