I believe they have until the end of the year to vacate. Escape was planning a production increase once they take over the space, at least the last time I spoke to Reace.

Yowsers!!
We'll have to have "It's Monday" through "It's Friday" photo threads, and I'll have to be on the forum 24/7 so as to not miss anything.

Having said that, a production increase depends on more than space. They're working pretty hard over there as it is.

I believe that in one of the podcast videos from the past, Tammy talks about restricting their output per year for quality and span-of-control.

It would be interesting to hear a new interview where Reace and Tammy can elucidate on their current business plans.

Congratulations you guys! Yours is being built before ours, but we pick up 2 days before you! We look forward to comparing notes! We also got a phone call last night to confirm our address. Then got an email with the import paperwork! Getting closer everyday!

Thanks Charlie and Lucy. When we went to Chilliwack last Sept. with a tour through the plant, it was quite evident to me that ETI was getting pinched for room. Also in some pictures, it looks like they have trailers in some kind of a hoop building. I don't recall seeing this last fall. It will be interesting to see the future of ETI. Loren

Nice! Love to see build photos at this early stage. I noticed that they mounted the solar panel even before they cut the window holes in the shell.

Thanks Robert! We noticed that too! Funny what you notice when it's yours (in our case), and actually know something about the trailers (in your case)!

You have a 5er! Great to get those first photos. Wait until you see the next ones. They move fast.

The final and best build picture

Our new Escape 21 hitched to Reace's truck about to leave for Sumas. Picture taken on Monday July 27th.

SWEET! Don't you absolutely love the excitement! Ten Forward is now 14 months old and I STILL remember that tingly feeling.

Best of luck Grant and Kathy. Maybe we'll meet up again at the Oregon Gathering or someplace else down the line

We had a great 12 days coming home.

We will see you at the Oregon Gathering at Fort Stevens in October.

Also Donna, we are so glad we followed your lead and did the U-shape dinette without having the table installed. The flip up tables worked fine when needed.

Totally cool Grant! Isn't this fun? If the dinette doesn't work, just go ahead and mount the table. Choices, choices are good.

See you in October at the NOG!

Don't really want to bore you with a bunch of new photos... but I will attach 2 new ones that came last night. Exciting to see the interior shaping up!
