| 19:46:25 |  czechton | was just figuring out if i should be setting this weekend aside for hackspace or doing other things |
| 19:46:48 | czechton | power looking brilliant! |
| 19:47:34 |  paniscus | Sorry for the delays. I didnt get to meet the guys I wanted tonight, update in a few days when I do. |
| 19:48:16 | czechton | no worries these things happen |
| 19:54:15 | paniscus | Such a coincidence you messaged just as I arrived at the lab to aee what had happened while I was away! |
| 19:56:00 | paniscus | Anyway, everyone in the hackspace is impresed with the progress, we are not at risk of losing for the sake of a delay, especially as we’re waiting on the space to deal with electrical. |
| 19:57:48 |  ajp | I wish I had the skills to help with this... I only know how to turn things off and then change a light switch! 😄 😛 |
| 19:59:29 | ajp | Sorry I meant to reply 4BMSGS9W I am up for helping with wood work! |
| 20:56:23 | paniscus | It’s ok 06G73G65 we’ve got the skills, is just being patient with people’s availability, everyone being volunteers. |
| 23:03:37 |  biomike | I've been out of the loop for a few days. I'll try to drop in on Thursday and fit the rest of the sockets. Slighyly annoyingly I there weren't enough conduit bits in the Space to fit the whole lot. I'll grab some more from Screwfix and finish off the wiring. I'll need Phil's help to run the cable back to the CU but it will be on the side wall, so once I',m done on Thursday we should be good to unpack I think |
| 23:03:59 | biomike | That said, we should probably take the oppertunity to clean the windows and maybe have a think too if we want to do something with the bench, as they existing work surface looks a bit tired |
| 23:05:39 | biomike | Not wanting to speak on behalf of the group or leadership but the fit out has been silly cheap so far (ie the Space has footed a lot of the bill), so maybe we can treat ourselves to a new worktop if people think that's a good idea? |
| 23:05:54 | biomike | We do still need to arrange a fridge and -20 freezer |
| 23:50:04 | paniscus | No we are not good to unpack, there’s a nimber of outstanding tasks. Work top overlay is already included in that. |
| 23:56:38 | biomike | What's on the todo list? |
| 12 Dec 2018 |
| 00:06:04 | paniscus | Off the top of my head, In various states, main ones. Your wiring, wiring above ceiling, floor, worktop, radiator, non-show stoppers, fix hot air blower, take delivery of shelf unit, shelves inside cupboard. Should all be done in about 10’days.
Windows hav been cleaned, outside anyway. |
| 00:10:22 | paniscus | And various mnor repars, fixes. And work out where the hot water supply on the ground floor has gone. |
| 00:11:47 | paniscus | People lined up, just fitting it in with their free time. Have to reorg now I’m over bronchitis |
| 00:13:05 | paniscus | And door bot, kicked that one off but need to finalise. |
| 00:15:13 | paniscus | And fingers crossed the trustee election results (thursday?) dont throw a spanner in the works |
| 12:26:22 | czechton | just a random thought that might not be worth dwelling on too much if its too complicated:
Could the plumbing form the unneeded sink be used to connect a dishwasher? Curry's do dishwashers for £180 and normal household ones are perfectly capable of washing lab glassware (provided you don't put rinsaid in them). |
| 12:26:49 | czechton | Would be nice for people to have less washing up work |
| 13:08:56 | paniscus | Good idea 047HN45P thoigh this wont be a hold-up |
| 17:12:14 | biomike | Off the top of my head, I don't think a dish washer would be a major issue |
| 13 Dec 2018 |
| 18:34:07 | paniscus | Heavy work today |
| 18:35:26 | paniscus | By Robbie mostly |
| 22:44:16 | paniscus | For a number of reasons we have decided against a hot water radiator, not least because the other hackspace members enjoy seeing white coated biohackers huddling together for warmth like penguins.
But we’re repairing the hot air blower and there will be electrical hot air heating above the door instead so you dont need to ask santa for thermal underwear. |
| 23:28:24 | czechton | angle grinders and sparks are always a good sign |
| 14 Dec 2018 |
| 16:44:14 |  ljkay23 | So is the blitz likely to be in January now? Just taking a look at my calender, as I'd like to help out ^_^ |
| 16:57:58 | paniscus | Yes January. On current form we’ll be done before end month, assuming deliveries get through. Bells and whistles like shelves insode cabinets may be delayed although I have spoken to a woodworker. |
