Will the city shut us down for building a kitchen not up to code?

we actually have some leniency with requirements. We've asked a few experts about this and our plan is moving forward based on that advice. Plumbing is not a big deal and we'll pay for it when needed. Electrical requires a permit, but most of the work we're doing will be fine as long as we meet and/or exceed the code. (d3fdfish)

Will the land lord shut us down for building a kitchen?

The landlord won't shut us down- he gave us permission to basically do anything we want and he is being made aware of this. (d34fish)

How are we handling cleanliness?

This proposal addresses creating a space for the kitchen. This should help keep shop grime out of the kitchen area facilitating cleanliness. As with any area of the space users will be responsible for policing their messes(Tucker)

What happens to other groups needing a slop sink?

We already have a concrete sink being donated for this purpose from Carl. (d34fish)

Where is beerchurch going to go when their space gets replaced with cabinets and a such?

Beerchurch will stay where it is. One of the reasons there aren't specific cabinets in the wall plan is to allow the brewing and kitchen users to fill in as they need. (Tucker)

Is a kitchen neccesary?

Most members will already have a kitchen, but not a machine shop, weld shop, wood shop etc.

  • Some members have garages, but still use the tools in the space.
  • Some people just want to hang out and bake cookies. Others might want to make extracts for brewing. Others might want to teach a cooking class. (Colin)

Budget breakdown

Does the budget include/how does the budget include the following

  • A ceiling
  • The fact that the plumbing is in a concrete wall
  • number and installation of outlets
    • The cost of running outlets on the new wall is maybe $150 if there isn't drywall in place. (Tucker)

What is the Bill of Materials?

Exactly what is being purchased?

Are the current plans substancial enough to make the kitchen a functional learning kitchen?

I imagine that classes will be taught in the new kitchen, but it will not be a professional grade teaching kitchen. --Hef
