Please help Kalamazoo Sandblast get Back to Work!
Hi, We are a family of 5, Taylor (my lovely wife) Nolan (11) Jordan (8) Ashton 2.5 mos) and my self Joe Cornelius (Dad). My Wife and I own and operate a few new businesses here in Kalamazoo Michigan.
KALAMAZOO SANDBLAST is a local start up organization, here to serve any customer, but specifically fucusing on the businesses that use any type of vehicle, equipment, or machinery. We have refurbished just about everything... from Front End Loaders, Gravel Crushers, Cranes, and trailers to Bicycles
Lawn Furniture or Rims and Valve Covers. Our location here other than limited parking space and neighbor issues is great because we are within a few miles of 80% of my customers, right in front of 2 loud and dusty Gravel pits, train tracks, and commercially zoned.. Our company was started in 2015 as a Mobile Fleet Washing company (KFNM) just doing side work for my ex-employer and a few Companies local to Kalamazoo. I was employed at West MI International Kalamazoo for about 10 years. I also worked full time at JX truck center for a short time before committing to 100 % Self Reliance. My wife has been a (SUPERSTAR) Taking care of the boys, schooling, and all household measures as well as helping with paperwork and invoicing at the shop as needed. We are not sure how long were going to be out of operation but we plan to be in compliance by May 31st and my portfolio for an investor is unfinished due to the harassment and downtime caused by the situation.
"No matter the outcome we are blessed and unstoppable, we know that bumps in the road to success are actually jumps to spring forward."

This video makes the situation sound terrible on my part but it is far skewed. We have over 15 police reports from the past 6 months that pretty much say we are dealing with a neighbor that is narcissistic and controlling. Something does not add up here. 1 Comstock township has randomly came out for decibal readings andright next to my compressor only reads 70
or less decibals, also my children sit in my office or break room 3-4 days a week doing there virtual schooling and cannot even hear the compressor. 2 Our disposed media is sent to the lab. You could eat it in a bowl of cereal if you'd like. (DEEMED COMPLETELY SAFE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION AND THE ENVIROMENT⁷) 3. Yes it's a little dusty here but these houses are right in front of 2 GIANT GRAVEL PITS,
My shop cameras show on a normal business day 67 gravel trains driving by just pouring dust out of them , 67 Dusty loud Gravel Trains and 5 Amtrack Trains in 1 day.. and the dust on my neighbors vehicles is my doing. Drive down East K Ave one day and look at the road and tell me what you think. Get the truth, not what was photocopied, edited, and requested by neighbors. 4 Kalamazoo Sandblast does not Sandblast past 10pm or before 7am because of city ordinances but we are looking to add a paint and clean up crew soon 5 "Doctors note" we are concerned about the neighbors mental health for my childrens safety but we are not taking any responsibility for the physical affect on you or the dead bee's health .... This Gofundme will help with getting into compliance by May 31st, Lawyer fees from this hysterical lawsuit , and covering shop and home expenses until we are back to work. Be a blessing.
