Things that need doing around the space

• Flooring in electronics is loose. It needs to be secured down to the ground.
  • Masonite and foam flooring is hard to stick to the floor
  • Try strong carpet tape?
  • Doobie is going to take a crack at it after the meeting along with any other interested parties

• Tables in lounge need bracing across the middle. They have panels that do that now, but they preclude sitting on both sides.
  • Put the metal conduit across the bottom and remove the panels?
