Agenda

Rats and raccoons, Mice

Eric M. – We have tenants! At the front part of office, there’s something living there, probably a raccoon. If electronics room. He will talk to landlord about it, doesn’t seem to be a big problem. Rats were spotted from the door of the adjacent building. Foam gnawed away. We will have to create a better barrier between the two areas. We need to keep food away. We need metal reinforcement to block up any holes.

Vacuum

Eric M. - Thanks to Nate W. and Dustin W., our vacuum is working. It’s hooked up to the table saw and will eventually be hooked up to the other machines.

Trays

Eric M. – Picked up a couple of red trays for taking things apart, from GFS, for little projects. He will probably put them in the tool crib.

Heat

Eric M. – The heat seems to be working. Heat costs money!!! Last month, we spent about $11/day for heat. Before you leave the shop, put the thermostats in Run mode to save energy.

Plasma Table

Eric M. – The movement mechanism is working, and the cutting element works. It needs just a few adjustments; it’s essentially close to functional.

Cleaning and Cleanliness

Eric M. – It’s been really clean lately!
