Yesterday was the first "tear down" day for me at NewSpring since we went portable. We started a 1:00 and were finished at 2:21. I mean finished with trucks ready to drive off.
We had taken down and loaded all the video, audio, lights and cabling as well as all the children's ministry things. Although this is still a work in progress, the organization was amazing.
First every rolling case for audio, video and lighting had a A, V or L on it (KV for kid video). Also the cases were labeled with a number: 1-# or 2-#. The 1 or 2 indicated the truck it was to go on. The other numbers indicated the order for loading on the truck. Those actually on the truck had a color coded diagram to show what was stacked on top of what and whether the case was to go longways or sideways in the truck.
I only saw 3 trusses (out of 9 or so total) and some plates to hold the trusses that were not on wheels. As things were taken down and packed or covered they were rolled into a single file. Once everything was packed, the train started moving everything to the dock. I couldn't believe all this stuff was packed and ready to go in less than an hour and a half.
Now, this coming Sunday will be my first "load in". I'm sure set-up will take a lot longer. Aligning projectors and hanging screens and white balancing cameras and hanging speakers and lights and running all the cables to make it all work again just takes longer. But I am still so impressed with how it all comes together.
God is so good to give us this place!
