Hackspace Move/Cremer Restoration
From London Hackspace Wiki
This is a list of things that need to be fixed or restored once we leave Cremer st. Please add anything you can think of, they will be struck off once we have confirmation that the work doesn't need to be done, or is completed.
I see a red door and I want to paint it black...
We need a door for the loo. The red door that was rescued from junking is now in the workshop, between the member box shelves and the machine tools, up against the wall. The holes have been patched and it's sanded. It needs to be painted, first with grey undercoat, and let to dry, second with black gloss. This will take a while because you can only paint one side at a time. I recommend using two sawhorses, and probably take it outside if it's nice out.
Paints for this are in one of the two bags stored on the last row of member box shelves in bags marked "for cremer restoration / do not use". There should be a clean brush soaking in the water in the shower room.
Things to keep in mind:
- Clean off the brushes and close the paint tins after each coat and when finished! This paint should be quite easy to take off.
- If you don't finish, update here with the time of the last coat so somebody else can pick up where you took off.
- Don't forget the edges of the door!
