Also, we are completely out of space. I really need a new building.

We have lots of software here--both CAD and CAM. It is enormously expensive. We probably have $100,000 in software alone.

I am in the process of looking for a building. Around here there are 10,000 sq foot buildings and 100,000+. I'd like 40 with room to grow. Building new is expensive. We are busting at the seams also. They say good problem to have, doesn't feel like it. A new building is a big distraction from the core business.

100K for power is obscene especially if you don't own the building.
I will say one thing, the amount of work that can be done with electricity for the $ is incredible.
