RPI is one of our best Forum vendors. It is always a shame to hear something like this has happened to one of our Forum family. It is great the there is insurance to cover most of the loss, but as we all know there is never enough to cover everything destroyed or damaged. I hope Josh gets everything back up and running soon. thumbs:

They posted a picture of a really nice possible location on fb. Looks like a big step up from the one that burned.

Thanks guys. We really appreciate all the kind comments. We are certainly going to get up and running quickly. We have located an old Ford Dealership that is about 14,000 square feet, our old place is 8,000 or so - we were running out of room at the old place and talking about expanding in 2015 possibly. Our hand has been forced at this point. The new building is very expensive and we are going to have to put a lot of capital to work, but we are very committed in this business and want to get up and running quickly. The Ford Dealership has a paint booth setup and we could get rolling quickly.

For the time being we are going to start painting at our old location to fill orders, at a much slower pace than we previously were able to do. Thank you guys again, we appreciate the prayers, thoughts and everyone sticking by us during this rebuilding process.

Glad no one was injured, and definitely glad to hear you were fully insured. Too many good companies hit the floor by cutting insurance corners.

Heres to getting back on your feet!
