Freebees!
Got a call this week from my chemical supplier, He had a 20,000 and a 30,000 gallon INSULATED tanks they no longer need and GAVE them to me!!! All I have to pay for is the shipping. They will be loaded on Monday and on there way to Idaho for the new bio plant. Got another call Fri from a gentleman that bought an old bakery in Washington State that has 3- 20,000 gallon tanks, 2-5,000 gallon tanks, and a 2,500 gallon tank. All vertical cone bottom tanks, with catwalks, stairs, pumps, and valves. ALL FOR FREE!! I must be living right............

Contracts are a good thing. Quick update: Building mods are done, steam, Hyd power, hot water, cold water, compressed air, and 3 phase are all in place around the inside of the building. Both Mixers showed up yesterday, tanks should be installed next week. Man these guys don't fool around, we should come in under budget and ahead of schedule. We should be making ASTM Biodiesel in about 8 weeks

Are any of these on trailers or flatbed loaded only? Put the cyclone through its first test lastnight. 190 gallons of liquid threw out 50-60 gallons of oil. Needs to settle a little more and repeat. Wiring the heater today then mixin and hopefully first batch. Found and posted hill bros chemicals earlier. 85 cents per pound on the potassium and 80 cents if over 250 lbs. Troy

I took pics and video. I will have to find out how to post them here. Im a supporter now. Had too, spend time in Iowa at Monsterbaby and Iowa bills homes. Broke down and now im down again here. So I might as well work on bio and use up all of my old chemicals until they open up on monday.

Once it starts we will have an open house for one day to show it off, but it is inside a building away from the public and behind security. I will let everyone know when the open house is going to be.

I think I may lease the farm and do this full time, what do you think?
