@danielmitchell Factory flags are standard. Pullup bar optional.

@Dylan_Morri We did it 14 years ago. No regrets. SO MUCH EASIER to build today.

Could not buy / afford what we wanted back then. Started small, built out from there.

[Dan Root @rootville]

@Russell_MFG_USA @mattdykema AMEN!

[Dan Root @rootville]

@pronounced_kyle one day i hope to build a building thats still big enough after 6 months.

[Dan Root @rootville]

Today is a great day to build.

What do I need to know about putting on a 2nd or 3rd shift?

Need to BUILD MORE TRUCKS. Have been 1st shift only for 20+ years. Adding another shift seems to be the move. Would love to hear from anyone that's done it.

@BuySellSMB Riches in niches!

[Dan Root @rootville]

@BuySellSMB @ClintFiore Garage gym is a complete game changer. No commute, no waiting on the squat rack, pick your own music.

[Dan Root @rootville]

Today is a great day to build.

[Dan Root @rootville]

@kaiarhodes The higher.
The fewer.

[Dan Root @rootville]

@jrhartman131 We usually try to keep very good relationships with everyone even competitors. However. I wouldn’t ask the chef for their recipes so I can cook at home. And if I did, I wouldn’t be mad if they said “sorry, no”

[Dan Root @rootville]

@zanehengsperger Much harder to hack post it notes, sharpies, secret handshakes. Some of our backward ways are security features.

[Dan Root @rootville]

Now this is a torque wrench.

Row the boat!

[Dan Root @rootville]

@zachglabman I'll be there.

[Dan Root @rootville]

Today is a great day to build.

3 cell aluminum tank system for a sweet custom build coming down the line.
