Ok- so we've concluded that the contents of the building might burn at any time (based on what might be bad info in the property listing) Tongue    At least there wont be any water damage to the ASICs.  With regard to safety of everyone working in the new headquarters: If the employees feel there is a risk of starting on fire,  they can rest assured in knowing a fire extinguisher is available to use.  When someone sees the inevitable PSU bursting into flames and starting what can only be a 1970s shag-carpeted assembly space on fire, they just point the extinguisher at the fire, and problem solved.

1200SF warehouse; 4800SF Office. As of Nov. 14th, space was still available, but we were shown equipment moving in prior to that date. Possibly, the earliest starting least date was Dec. 1st. No sprinkler system. Least rate.



My smallest warehouse is 1200SF. It's nothing. BTW, the "No" in the image above reflects if the space is equipped with sprinklers.

I am currently parked outside of the BFL headquarters. I have my trusty binoculars and a gallon of trail mix. I even brought a pee bottle #thinkingahead

What about one or two guys working in such an environment? Tongue

Will it be safe for two guys to fly in from out of state/country to view two guys working?  Grin

Probably not, what with all that eBay equipment taking up so much of the precious floor space. Wink

How is it strange to check on an address posted by a BFL employee? Rather than making one a "creepy stalker type" I think it makes one appear prudent to fact check the releases coming from a company known to distort the facts. You know, the same company with a convicted crook on the payroll? Fact checking costs very little in this case, whereas being naive can cost a bundle.

Thanks again for doing the legwork PG.

There was no legwork. I simply read a post on this forum, clicked a link and ended up on BFL's forum site, read a few seconds, then clicked another link provided, and voila. I wasn't even looking for the warehouse address at the time, but once found, I did go into Google-fu mode which, perhaps, consisted of a little legwork.

In re. the lack of sprinklers and concrete doesn't burn, what about all the electrical equipment placed throughout the assembly area where possibly acetone is present? Or the cardboard boxes containing toxic flammable parts? Or the 4800 SF of office space where one finds reams of loose paper? The list goes on. OSHA would have a heyday as soon as they walked into the building.

I'm sure that somehow the office area is probably grandfathered in, as well as the 1200 SF warehouse, but using said space to assemble product by a dozen plus personnel ain't goin' to cut it. As a warehouse to store parts and possibly use for shipping, this may be fine, but logistically it wouldn't make sense if assembly is located in another part of KC, even if nearby, unless if located in Suite 102 next door.

Oh no, the structural concrete is on fire!  Quick! put it out by pointing that wind turbine powered fan at it!  Tongue  

Yeah, it's a nice place to get ready for final assembly of units Smiley

Speaking of workers, let's talk about their safety and reexamine that non-existent sprinkler system. And what about the space lost to the area immediately adjacent to not one, but two emergency exits?

WTF?  Does someone have a floor plan rendering too?  Ok, if so, re-arrange the layout so that people walk near the exit instead of sit right in front of the door.
Now, nobody at BFL will burn to death in the highly-unlikely event of a structural concrete fire Tongue

I'm sure everyone likes the new BFL location as much as I do Smiley  I hope they can get a logo on the side of the building- great location.

Is the sprinkler system the focus of your attention? If so, why? What is the importance? (Of there not being one?)

The sprinkler aspect is minor compared to the size of the manufacturing/warehouse area. 1200SF is not a very big space. That's about the size of an average barn. Now put in a couple dozen workers and you're about out of space. Speaking of workers, let's talk about their safety and reexamine that non-existent sprinkler system. And what about the space lost to the area immediately adjacent to not one, but two emergency exits?
