Black Dog Salvage News Release

2012-12-18T21:20:00.001-05:00

Roanoke's Black Dog Salvage reality show extended for another eight episodes on the DIY network.
This is a great, everyone needs to check them out!

Why's this so great and what's it's got to do with Hy-Test? Well....on this very blog a couple of months back we highlighted a couple wind chimes (October 28th) and (October 20th). These were taken in on consignment by Black Dog Salvage in December. We thought this was pretty cool that something we created had value and might just be worth a little jingle. (Puns are always intended)

We didn't know then and I'm sure Black Dog Salvage didn't realize then, when they hung our creations in their store, that Channel 10 News would again be filming their achievements. But if you watch the news cast very closely, two of our creations turn up three times during the segment.

The first piece appears moments into the video, on the left, almost out of the frame. Did you see it? Play it again...

The next piece is a door chime made from several small extinguishers, this they have hanging to the right, above their cash register. Pretty cool spot.

And then again, the first chime shows up right at the end of the news spot, but it will take a trained eye to spot it. The chime is near their front door as you enter their premises.

We hope to have more items on consignment with Black Dog in the near future.

Black Dog Salvage has something for everyone in their warehouse/store. You have to see it for yourself . And watch them on the DIY network.

Happy Thanksgiving

2012-11-21T15:45:00.001-05:00

Hy-Test, Inc. would like to wish everyone a very safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
Our office will be closed Thursday the 22nd and Friday the 23rd so our
employees can be with their families and celebrate this festive occasion.

Remember cooking safety and supervise younger, up and coming chefs. Watch
out for loose fitting clothes, towels, pot holders and anything else that may come
in contact with the stove. And for all those that want to deep fry their turkeys..........
be sure to do this outside in an open area. Do not attempt this in your kitchen or on
your wooden deck.

Let's use a little common sense and be safe!

Retro Fit for Cylinder Lifting

2012-06-12T22:40:00.002-04:00

We've outfitted one of our trucks with a used wheel chair lift to help with the loading of cylinders. Still need to build another rack to secure cylinders in an upright position. This lift will ease the pain of lifting heavy items into the back of the truck.

Guardian III Installation

2012-05-31T22:35:00.001-04:00

Heritage Hall has added a new kitchen for their residents to use. The Town of Blacksburg has required a fire suppression system to be installed. Hy-Test, Inc was chosen to perform this service. A Guardian III fire system was installed in the cabinet above the stove with nozzles and heat detectors mounted under the hood. If the fire system was to activate, the Guardian III will turn the stove off while notifying the Fire Department.
