Things that need doing around the space

  • Flooring in electronics is loose. It needs to be secured down to the ground.

    • 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?
    • Swap out the tables with the taller ones by the door
