Meeting notes

• the move

  • we tested the elevator (it was stuck at the ground floor)
  • fred went to have a talk with a person in the building who was knowledgeable on this subject

• layout of the new space

  • bar next to the door
  • elec lab next to the new door in the back
  • laser cutter and 3D printers in the back room
  • heavy corner in the seperate room
  • club mate storage in the technical room
  • power board in the technical room
  • tables where they can fit
  • cooking stuff in the kitchen (needs to be cleaned and maybe painted)

• what needs to be done before the move ? _ what needs to be done ASAP after the move ?

  • Before the move :
  • we need to cut the door to the heavy corner AND remove the gyproc wall,
  • Vincent Olivier, stefan and Wouter will remove the gyproc wall next tuesday
  • ASPA after the move
    • installing black nights along a path to our space ( door to enter “campus” first )
    • putting up signage
  • those 4 will also have a look at cutting the door to the heavy corner

• finances

  • no laptops so we did not go into this

• keeping the space clean

  • a plan was proposed to make a system where people who leave the space a mess put money in a fund , that then goes to rewarding people who clean up.
    • this system will only use money that comes from the “bad behavior” pot.
    • rewards will have to be assigned by a 3rd person (X saw Y do the dishes , so X cerifies Y gets a “dishes” reward)

Stuff needed at citygate

• pur plate for window next to door 4cm: 1000x1200mm
• osb plate for window next to door (1300x1100) * 2
• rockwool for insulation on top of our internal roof (to be measured)
• plexyglass for making single glass windows double glass (1350x1390) * 6
• plexyglass for making single glass windows double glass (1500x435) * 6
• silicone for plexyglass attachment

Napkin math: pellet stove

• We started at 1500 with 15kg of pellets (€3,89 in brico).
• At 2200 we almost ran out of pellets (2 stoves on full power all the time)
• The room temprature was around 19° all the time, outside temperature around 10°
  • 7 hours of heat with 2 stoves full power for €4.

€4 / day * 3 days / week * 30 cold weeks = €360 / year for heating (if we insulate well and the heat from 2 heaters is enough) Compared to €747 we payed for gas last winter (17-18). But we might need to invest the money we save in insulation.
