  • Who wants to weatherize?

    • No schedules, just show up, share time and be nice
  • How do you use a machine?
    • Get an authorization! Check the list, calendar, meetup, wiki

    • We'll teach you enough to not hurt yourself, you'll have to practice or find training elsewhere (e.g. for welding: Chicago Industrial Art and Design)
