Winter Feast...er...Blast.

I've been on hiatus for 2 days now, so as soon as I got to my desk this morning, I ran downstairs and grabbed some photos to post on our blog.   Enjoy.

The Hardwood Store and Rockler Grand Opening Shirts

We just printed shirts for the grand opening of Rockler inside The Hardwood Store. The hoodies, printed on our Brother digital printer, feature a router bit and stylized text, along with the logos of the two companies.

The Hardwood Store has been a premier supplier of hardwood lumber and millwork for nearly twenty years. The addition of Rockler woodworking accessories and products is a great add to the stores already fully featured line of products.

Stop in on February 1st and 2nd and enjoy their Grand Opening event at The Hardwood Store.

Love.

This new addition to our site will enable users to see preview images, review more detailed quotes, and communicate more quickly with us.

Dance Team: Revelier Officers

We just finished printing The Revelier Dance Team's 3/4 sleeve American Apparel shirts!

The dance team, out of Woodlands, Texas, had their shirts printed with us last week. Shirts for the directors and each of the girls were printed using our Brother digital direct-to-garmet printer, which allowed us to print custom names on each shirt, like "Nibblesworth" and "Bella", just to name a few.

Here are some photos I grabbed of the production team!

Cheers, Darkroom.

Thanks, cops!

Warsaw Streets and Sanitation, alongside Warsaw Police Department have closed the road behind our building! Thanks to them, many people's cars are saved from the ever treacherous overflowing stream near by.

Thanks, cops!

High Water Season

Snow melting due to our recent "heat wave" combined with a bit of rain we've had lately, rivers and creeks are flooding onto roads and fields.

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COMBINED WITH THE RECENT SNOWMELT HAS CAUSED FLOODING OF SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS. ADDITIONALLY...COUNTRY ROADS AND FARMLANDS ALONG THE BANKS OF CREEKS AND STREAMS AND OTHER LOW LYING AREAS ARE IN FLOOD.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS SAFELY. (via Weather.com)

Coming into work today, I noticed a large amount of water covering our parking area.  I drove around to the other side of the building to see this fella, who tried to forge the river underneath the viaduct.

UPDATE: The Culligan Man and his crew just got stuck.  They are the 4th people to get stuck today.  Word has it that a minivan decided to go for it early this morning, and somehow, made it.

Culligan.  Trust the water Experts.  Cohort seen in background.

I just snuck downstairs and grabbed two production photos for the run of shirts 18spots is doing for The Method to My Medium.
