***Alex – you want Friday’s as open hours?
6pm to 10pm Phillip will be here to open the space Fridays from now on (for the
foreseeable future)
'''Consensed'''
*Devin – about requiring a 2nd/2nd for proposals
&attatch copy of formal wording
'''Consensed'''
*You now require two members in good standing to 2nd your proposal before
bringing to the floor.
*Dave – Can we make this start today?
**It is effective immediately, and not retroactive.
*Mike - How do we address a proposal on the floor that may not have enough
support?
'''De-consensed'''
*Andrew – Dangerous to start retroactively changing things
*Mike – If we put that barrier back to make things more reasonable, or a
proposal to be able to cancel proposals
*Devin – agrees with 2nd, proposal to redact, until then we can always just
block it
*Alex – agrees, no retroactivity, If we want to add on to this in the future we
can bring up a new proposal.
*Devin – Likes it as is, doesn't want to drag this on another week.
*Mike – Should we make another proposal for next week to add to an additive
proposal making things retroactive
*Mike – agrees to step aside and come back to it in another meeting
'''re-consensed'''
*Alex – Are the proposals from last week still valid/open?
**Yes
*Chris – Associate membership? Can this be removed from the proposals page?
**Torrie – I will do
'''Funding & Building walls:'''
Needs consensed floor plan & a BOM
*Andy – The $3k to make the walls proposal, where did those numbers come from?
*Torrie – home depots website and estimating
*Andy – My estimate is around $4,600
*Andrew – What’s relevant fire code?
*Dave - The Ohio building code states fire suppression drywall is needed.
**citation requested
*Becca – even if not required don’t we want it anyway?
*Andy – The person at home depot suggested these (fireproof doors), and there
is possibility of getting parts cheaper via contractors. *Habitat for Humanity
is another possibility
*Andrew – Worried about when the insurance inspector come by / can we make our
own door to save cost?
*Mike – Used doors would considerably reduce that cost
*Andy – These are 20-min fire resistant doors specifically certified for this,
we would have to look up about other materials involved.
*Andy – we need more prices and options to get a plan
*Andrew – if we want strips instead of outlets?
*Devin dislikes, from a build quality and safety standpoint
*Andy – electrical to code, can always plug a strip in if you dare
*Extending the machine shop space
**Devin – Not being able to work with a 4x8 sheet in that room sucks, can we
move the furnace to the machine shop to solve both issues?
**Andy – we could put a closet around the furnace
*Needs consensed floor plan/BOM
**Devin – It would give us the room needed for 4x8 sheets, safely, quickly, and
alone.
**Andrew – can we solve this by re-arranging?
**Phillip –Vertical radial arm saws would fit and be usable in the current space
**Devin – Equipment Jenga: roller stands for things are very expensive ($40/ea
if bought), and would need them on everything. As for the radial saw – cost
prohibitive.
**Andy – more space lets us have more things
**Chris – We have ventilation existing that would take most dust, keeping from
the furnace
***Devin – we have a dust collection system too, can be planned into the
building of the walls
***Andy – We can run more ducting if the furnace is moved drastically
***Devin – Moving at all is expensive, having it in the zone of the other
furnace would give a large temp shift, we also have a vent where *the furnace
is now, and floor drain
***Mike – Don’t think moving it is reasonable
Seems like moving the furnace in general is a bad idea.
*Heating the machine shop:
**Devin – if we changed the ducts for a more efficient output.
**Mike – if we encase it we’ll need returns, we also need furnace filters –
there almost solid
*The wall in general:
**Mike – who’s doing the estimates? The heating would be different depending
on what type of ceiling / details of the walls (height)
**The lower the ceilings the easier to heat, a while ago lofts were mentioned
**Devin – we could use beam construction, build like a deck
***More details need to be discussed
**Hopefully we can take it all the way to the wall.
**Andy we could have a 10’ and add a topper to get the rest of the height later
**Devin feels floor to ceiling would be best
**Mike – what about 8’ It’s easier.
**Chris – construction is difficult, if it’s an 8’ thing to cut 8’ ceiling
would be insufficient
**Devin – What about the meazzanine over in the meeting area? Could have two
floors for meetings / speakers
*Devin will take the lead on planning the floorplan
*Andy is on pricing / finding an estimate / and more vendors
