My list of things that needs doing for general area host duties.

My list of things that needs doing for general area host duties. If you have suggestions, please add them to the discussion page.

 

The originally voted on budget got deflated due to the mostly absent previous area host. I need to figure out how much everything I want to do this year will cost and get it into a new budget proposal.

=== Walls for the lounge ===

* Make wiki pages for each air conditioner, including stuff like model number, maintenance info, when maintenance was last performed, etc. [[HVAC]] is a good starting point.

I need to paint the walls with a sealant paint first, then put some sort of drywall like thing in front of the bricks. fitterdave can add his french cleats to the outside of the walls we add. I want to do it this way so that when the modular walls come down (in particular whenever we move out to another space), what's left will not be totally bare.

=== Hire cleaning service ===

=== Exit signs ===

Jenny and Pete already had a couple places come in and give quotes. I need to go through the info they gave me and pick one. I might need to call some references.

The lightbulbs were all replaced with LED bulbs except for the one above the front stairs upstairs. That one needs new wiring. [https://rt.pumpingstationone.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=510 RT]

 

=== New AC in the lounge ===

Preferably one that doesn't look like it will give you some weird lung disease.

 

* Get people to use the shelf registry and/or make a better one

 

* Set up the tap system with the new fridge (which hasn't been voted on yet). Not really a general area host thing, but it is in the general area.

* Get rid of the old fridge. I just need to get the stuff we want to keep out of there and then get someone to pick it up. http://www.getjunk.net/Chicago-IL-Illinois-Free-Appliance-Pick-Up.html will pick it up for free if we get it outside.

=== Bathrooms ===

Work on the sinks in the downstairs bathrooms. I'd like to replace them. Mostly because I don't particularly like those sinks, but also because they're leaky. I probably won't be able to fully replace the sinks this year. In the meantime, it would be enough to just replace the valves.

I briefly looked into how much this would cost. Wall mount faucets like we would need for those sinks were a minimum of $200 on Home Depot's website. It's actually cheaper to just buy new sinks and buy regular faucets for them (regular faucets can be had for about $30).

=== Lounge furniture ===

I would like to replace the tables in the lounge with something a bit easier to arrange for different types of events. My vision is to have some smaller tables that can be easily arranged as desks for a classroom type of setting or pushed together into a large table for something like game night.

Power at each desk?

 

I'm going to paint the wall that the projector is pointed at with whiteboard paint. I'm also considering using some magnetic primer underneath that just for the hell of it.
