"I made a jig and named her Charlotte"
The EZ
Miser launch has been quite an experience for us, very
different from our original launch
of the Avian Aqua Miser. In December 2008, we barely
had a web presence, and we sold one or two waterers per week for
the first little while. That gave Mark plenty of time to
work the kinks out of mass production.
In contrast, this
time around, I spent all day Monday at the computer, just fielding
emails, and Mark's working as fast as he can building EZ
Misers. That's why I'm posting instead of Mark this
afternoon --- his brain power is just about used up from days of
tweaking and figuring things out. (Plus, he's at the post
office mailing two ATV-loads of EZ Misers.)
I suspect Mark will
have all of his jigs (Charlotte and sisters) up and running in a
week or so, at which point he'll be able to stop testing each
waterer and start delegating more of the workload. We
appreciate all the business since it will allow us to keep Kayla
employed all winter!
