447 Hackney Road/Toilets

The Plan

• Paint.
  • We want a strip of magnetic blackboard paint around the walls, broken by a neutral colour (TBC) at the top and bottom. This needs to be lighter than the current blackhole scheme.
  • Are the walls paintable as is or do we need to prepare them?
    • Paintable as-is. There is flecked paint on the walls but we can't do much with that.

• Floor.
  • The current vinyl is manky and coming up. We want to tile it.
  • Do we need to use levelling compound before we do this? Who has experience of tiling? What tools do we need?
    • We won't be able to tell for sure until we rip the vinyl up, but it seems unlikely it'll need levelling compound. Tools needed: a trowel, a bucket, and some way of cutting tiles (If we can get hold of an electric diamond tile cutter, this step will be a lot easier). Russ (talk) 17:10, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

• Plumbing.
  • Does any of the plumbing need work while we're ripping stuff apart? Now is the time.

• Electrics.
  • The lights in the toilets are awful. We need low energy, bright bulbs in good fittings. The ceilings are very high.
  • The two sections of the toilet are switched seperately. Do we want to keep one/both switch(es) or install PIRs like the kitchen?

• Cool Things.
  • PIR sensors for space activity heatmap.
  • Toiletcam
