Hackspace Move/Cremer Restoration
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...
- Clean off the brushes and close the paint tins after each coat and when finished! This paint should be quite easy to take off.
- Don't forget the edges of the door!
Supplies
The various supplies that have been bought and stored at the hackspace are on the last row of member box shelves in plastic bags with labels on them.
The big saw with the red handle is used for cutting breeze blocks to size (for irregular / thin shapes). Thick shapes can be cut with the cold chisel and hammer. First, go around the entire block, only chiseling 1-2mm deep. Then keep going deeper each time and eventually it will break, leaving a nice rough surface for the mortar to stick to.
