I think there may be a half-box under the T shirts too. These can be used in the space or taken for your own use if you wish. A small donation in the beer tin would be welcome, but not essential. --[[User:Artag|Artag]] 21:17, 29 November 2010 (UTC)


Double or single ?

* I'd suggest single, because as far as I can tell you just end up with two small ovens that you can't fit anything big into. But it depends whether we're getting a freestanding one, I guess.  Any more thoughts?

We won this [http://www.i-bidder.com/forms/LotDetails.php?eventid=1413&lotid=476442 Neff ceramic hob] (probably a T12D20) in an auction. Assuming it actually works, it's a good hob.

Status

This is for the old hackspace and is now wrong.

Tasks

  • Run last length of water pipe
  • Run waste pipe to loo in 23
  • Run power to back room from distro
  • Obtain worktops and drawers
  • Finalise arrangement of under counter storage
  • Remove carpet
  • Tile/level floor
  • Fit extraction
  • Move from 23, or obtain new water heater
  • Move sink from outside loos (New sink obtained and fitted....)

Current layout

Usable appliances

(Dishwasher needs internal examination for creepy crawlies before final move to new area)

  • Espresso machine
  • Coffee percolator
  • Kettle
    • Cafetiere
    • Tea bags
  • Microwave
  • Deep fat fryer
  • Toaster

Glasses

We have lots of glasses. There is still a boxful in the workshop - intended as extra stock for parties (including loans for your own events) - as well as the ones in the small kitchen cupboard.

I think there may be a half-box under the T shirts too. These can be used in the space or taken for your own use if you wish. A small donation in the beer tin would be welcome, but not essential. --Artag 21:17, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Wiring

Oven

We have an oven! It is sitting in the Workshop waiting to be installed. We won this EOU 5330 W electrolux oven & EHP 6602 K hob, not single and not as shiny as the Neff hob but better than it looks in that picture ; and only a fiver so we can chuck it out when we find something better. *** Fitted JUL 2012, now connected and working ***

  • NB whoever installs the cooker should be aware that it will need its own dedicated circuit from the fusebox. Do not just plug it into a 13A socket (unless it's unusually low-power). Example instructions: [

There's a lot more to running power to an oven than that page suggests. We will do this properly. In the meantime, if anyone's a qualified spark, or has significant experience with electric installation, and is willing to spare the time, feel free to contact us on IRC.

Hob

We won this for £20 in an auction, which is a decent hob. We need to determine whether it should be used instead of the cooker hob. *** Fitted JUL 2012, now connected and working ***
