Eight months. Thats how long it took to rebuild after a severe storm destroyed a building housing Joseph Moore, his family, and his business, JM WeldCo. The new building is the site of the new welding shop, and Moore and his family have lived in their RV, which sits just inside.This building is a tick under 10,000 square feet. It has 20-ft walls and 26-ft floor-to-ceiling in the center, Moore said about the dimensions. Its more than two times bigger than his previous shop.Eight months is a pretty fast turnaround when its just me, my father-in-law, my dad, and my wife building the thing.The storm in April ripped the building apart, and the rain ruined all of the equipment inside. No shop and no tools meant no work, and Moore also had to lay off his employees.Weve been at a complete standstill, so no product going out, no money going in, Moore said. Weve just now got back up and running.Now, Moore has new, upgraded equipment, and he hopes to start bringing back shop employees.Instead of just replacing it with the same thing, weve gone the step further, invested back into ourself, belief in ourself, and its paying off pretty well, Moore said of the new tools.The tools are used to build a safer carrying case system for certain pharmaceuticals.Its rewarding work knowing that Im helping people, said Moore, basically just making a safer product for delivery drivers to use.The new tools will also help Moore and JM WeldCo find more work to do at the shop.These little slitting blades are all over industry, he said, holding up a small disc-like piece with sharpened edges around the circumference. Paper industry, books, the food industry, foams, rubbers, textiles. Literally anything that has to be cut into strips, theyre done with these little circular slitting blades.While theres still some work to be done inside, Moore and his family are happy to finally start moving forward again.I mean its a blow for anybody, Moore said of the whole ordeal. I mean you just dont wipe away your house and place of business and all of a sudden think everythings gonna be, I mean weve lived in a camper for the last eight months while we built this thing.
