We had to make a decision whether to move into our purchased warehouse ASIS or to keep investing (as planned) in upgrades and new equipment. We got cold feet because of the beginning and uncertainties of COVID. You urged people to invest because interest would be low. With heavy hearts we borrowed a lot of $ and invested in brand new equipment. It was the best decision! We got big discounts on equipment, three free payments, good [interest] rates.
