Here is OnDrew removing the railing at the new house to successfully pull out the ramp for the absolute easiest unloading I've certainly ever done.

Logistics to move (1) 2-car garage workshop, (2.5) households, (2) custom finished projects, and pets has resulted in (1) 53' semi load, (1) 26' Uhaul load, (4) private vehicles and (1) headache for Sandy.

Happy New Year!

We start the new year with OnDrew J Hartigan saying goodbye to the old shop. On the wall you will see his =) and the July 2013 note that was hidden behind a cabinet from when he moved in.

Packing up the shop in Lakeland for the move to NC! As a reminder the shop reopens January 15th!

The small office space has doubled and the 2-car garage workshop is now 3-car with plans to expand to 5 in the next few months.

A video introducing the full MRB crew is coming eventually, we had planned to make it much earlier this year. OnDrew started the company in 2010 and employed Josh part time for several years, he joined full time in 2023. Sandy took over office duties fulltime in 2024 and Bay will be joining us in 2025.

Josh under supervision of our Shop Monkey finishing up our last custom project of the year before the shop was packed up. Not only is MRB moving to North Carolina, both of our final custom projects of the year are being delivered to NC with the move! Talk about convenient.

If you haven't heard, MRB is in the process of relocating from Florida to North Carolina. The shop has been closed since Thanksgiving while we repair, pack, relocate and set up. We reopen January 15th!

A few weeks ago in preparation for our move Bob Russello graciously lent us his MIG welder so OnDrew J Hartigan could repair a part for our kreg machine.
