In 1996, after 10 years of working for Gary's Tuxedo, building some of their rental locations and remodeling their corporate headquarters JM starts a 5 month, extensive earthquake retrofit in their factory.  This project consisted of all work being performed at night.  Major dust control and product protection was required.  All work could not affect the production of the factory.  All work had to be performed using ladders.  There was no access for forklifts or scissor-lifts.

A typical work-night started at 8pm and ended at 4:30am.  The workers would cover all equipment and product in their work areas, set-up the ladders and scaffold, set-up and turn on the dust control system, and start working.  At 4am the would start cleaning up and have everything back how they found it the previous night.  This went on for months.

At then end of the project only one tuxedo jacket had epoxy get on it.
