Things that need doing around the space

For new space

  • Install security cameras above front and rear doors. Run wiring to furnace closet 2nd floor. Cameras and some wiring are said to exist.
  • Remove all other old cameras, they make some people grumpy.
  • Clean up, patch and paint where wall was removed in lounge 2.0. Tony left paint, under electrical panel, new space.
    • Mostly done, just needs paint
  • Make cool new radiator covers, lounge 2.0
  • 2 electrical conduits lounge 2.0 need to be fastened to the wall with boxes and blank covers.
    • Done! By Ron Bean
  • All electrical circuits need to be traced, all boxes should be labeled. Follow our current convention and you can record info here https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Electrical
  • Install fire extinguishers and signs. They are said to exist. Upick locations, they can always be moved. I think some holders may need to be made or bought. Verify they are charged and tagged. This one applies to the entire space.
    • Michael Skilton planning on getting these recertified tomorrow if he has time
  • Replace glass in front windows lounge 2.0. This might evolve into new hardware and maybe even into making new sashes.

Other things that need doing

  • Remove fruit flies from lounge and kitchen
    • Bio Drain Gel is a good way to kill fruit flies in sink areas & drains
  • Rinse out bottles and cans
  • Keep kitchen clean, tidy up food etc.
