Modular Offices

Having had a number of warehouse installations over the years to support various businesses, I can tell you that you will always end up with some sort of office space inside your warehouse itself. Usually this office area is cobbled together with whatever odds and ends you can garner for the given space. A desk, a chair or two and probably some kind of paperwork storage unit and perhaps a worktable. I have noticed over time that a setup like this does not bring forth an aura of professionalism, whereas the use of modular offices puts you in an entirely different ballpark. A modular office system allows you to not only design an effective workspace but also allows you to utilize your warehouse office space as a fully functional heated or cooled office or system of offices. I believe people will turn out a higher quality of work if their work environment is not viewed as a gloomy cave. One of the great things about modular offices is that they are modular. You can take them apart, take them with you when you move, and just set them up again, and if you own the warehouse building there will be no increases in your property taxes, since the offices are considered movable equipment. Another tax advantage falls under the category of depreciation. You can depreciate a modular office system over 7 years as opposed to 39 years for conventional construction. All in all I would say that modular offices are a great choice to turn part of your warehouse into efficient office workspace.

Inversion Tables

I have a terrible back problem. It never seems to go away. At times I have trouble standing up straight or often times even walking without pain. Last summer I discovered inversion tables. I used an inversion table at a pain clinic that has become almost a "hangout". In any case, I found that hanging from an inversion table at about 60 degrees has noticeably lessened the pain. While shopping for
inversion tables I soon discovered that a lot of brands I tried actually hurt my ankles while I was inverted. I didn't try any that used "boots" as I picture those as units that are for the "real" inverters who want to actually hang straight upside down, which I don't. Besides it takes longer to get into the boots than to just use a good comfortable ankle lock mechanism. I finally tried one of the "Teeter Hang-ups" tables. The first thing I noticed was that I could hang at 60 degrees or more with no ankle discomfort at all. I also really appreciated the fact that the "Hang-ups" tables were built extremely well. If there's one thing that makes me feel secure while hanging head down it's that I have confidence that the table is sturdy and secure. I opted for the 950 model as it has the feature of the extended ankle release bar. With that I don't have to bend over as far to get out of the ankle locks. After using the inversion table for some months now I can say that I would highly recommend it for most people with back pain.
