We're currently thinking of just a counter to turn the kitchen into a C shape. We could then add something like Noisebridge's [http://news.cnet.com/2300-10797_3-10001933-4.html mosaic].

The auction also got us over 200 beer and other glasses. I propose we put 50 or so in the space and put the rest on sale to members & visitors at 50p each. If this is successful it will pay for the cookers ! It may be possible to etch them with the laser.
 
 
 
Better ideas are welcome.

  • Run power to back room from distro
  • Obtain worktops and drawers
  • Finalise arrangement of under counter storage
  • Remove carpet
  • Tile/level floor

  • 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)

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 ***
