=== Things that need doing around the space ===
=== Things that need doing around the space ===
 
====For new space====
* Install security cameras above front and rear doors. Run wiring to furnace closet 2nd floor. Cameras and some wiring are said to exist.
* Remove all other old cameras, they make some people grumpy.
* Clean up, patch and paint where wall was removed in lounge 2.0. Tony left paint, under electrical panel, new space.
** Mostly done, just needs paint
* Make cool new radiator covers, lounge 2.0
*2 electrical conduits lounge 2.0 need to be fastened to the wall with boxes and blank covers.
** Done! By Ron Bean
* All electrical circuits need to be traced, all boxes should be labeled. Follow our current convention and you can record info here https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Electrical
* Install fire extinguishers and signs. They are said to exist. Upick locations, they can always be moved. I think some holders may need to be made or bought. Verify they are charged and tagged. This one applies to the entire space.
** Michael Skilton planning on getting these recertified tomorrow if he has time
*Replace glass in front windows lounge 2.0. This might evolve into new hardware and maybe even into making new sashes.
====Other things that need doing====
* Remove fruit flies from lounge and kitchen
** Bio Drain Gel is a good way to kill fruit flies in sink areas & drains
* Rinse out bottles and cans
* Keep kitchen clean, tidy up food etc.
