Hauser and his 17 employees examined everything in their shop and got rid of 45 dumpsters of unneeded items, 12 pallets of old equipment/supplies and 50 pieces of old furniture. Then all needed materials were returned in a neat, orderly and logical manner.

Work areas were also marked off with tape.
