We worked right away, for a few weeks, the space without proper ventilation was very unhealthy. Smelled badly of propane gas. Decided to shut down the shop for couple months to get things proper, for our health's sake. Nearly went broke because of the construction and rent costs during this time, and we could not produce product. Luckily we made enough during the first few weeks to squeak by, used a credit card to get glass raw materials after the vent. was finished, and we are very lucky that we made it out of that. We were in debt, exhausted from the building, and about to lose the company. I am so thankful to my other 2 guys who really helped us pull out of this nose dive. Probably made a few hundred pipes over the first couple months the after the ventilation was finished, that in combination with local shops picking up a lot of glass was the redeeming moment.
