We have until the beginning of August to get out of the old building! Garden St. Has a new Tennant lined up, so we must be out.
We have had incredibly good turnout and been highly effective the last few weeks, things are going very well! Thanks so much to everyone who has been helping, you are incredible!
We understand that this weekend is a holiday weekend, so turnout may be low, but please, if you are able, show up to help!
After the 4th weekend though, we need as many people as we can get to show up at both new and old Hive13! We have a small dedicated team who are pushing electrical work forward, and a few members working on access control. Anyone not on those teams, please show up ready to pack up things at the old building and carry them over to the new Hive. No amount of effort is too small for that task, we need EVERYONE to help! There are a million small things that can be packed into any small car and carried over!
Please bring anything other than wood shop items in and place them in the front of the new space. We are using that space as a staging area so the shops stay clear for electrical work. The woodshop is up and running, so wood shop related items can go straight back.
I'll be in at 1:00 to work on the Move. I'll only be staying till 4:00, but others will be around till 9ish working on moving and the new space. If you are at all able, please come help! Likewise for 10:00a-4:00p Saturday and Sunday!
Thanks so much to everyone who is lending thier Hustle to the effort, you are Hive13 Heros!
I am driving back from Greenville to Louisville today and will trip up to be in Cincinnati all day tomorrow/Monday and then come back at least Wednesday/Thursday to help on the 2929SG to 2701SG transition this week.
I’ve communicated with leadership recently about Cincinnati friend TomH doing an estate clearance that includes his Dad’s shop tools. Most of the best stuff stays in their family, but TomH has offered the Hive an initial four tub random hand tool collection donation. With leadership’s inputs, I’ll bring that donation to 2701SG to sort through on Monday morning. There may be more stuff and perhaps storage cabinetry for the Hive as TomH sorts through remaining things.
Just another reminder, we need EVERYONE who can show up to come help move things from our old space to the new space whenever you can over the next month.
NO LOAD IS TOO SMALL, carry what you can carry, whether in your car or on a dolly and walking to the new building. Everyone is welcome to also use Dave B’s truck to move things, the key is on the kitchen awning.
We will continue to have coordinated move workdays EVERY THURSDAY, 6:00-9:00pm and EVERY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, 10:00am-5:00pm. But if you can’t make those times, please just come whenever you can, there is always work that can be done.
Weekend opportunities. It’s not just about moving.
The Fab Lab door needs to be replaced and the wall patched with drywall.
Carpenter skills required for this repair are rated as medium.
The Fab Lab AC units need to be removed and the holes for laser and AC covered with Drywall.
The Lounge AC needs to be removed and covered with drywall
There is a big hole in the Lounge where the laser poster was. That needs to be covered with drywall.
I’m going to be working on door security in 2701 on Saturday starting in mid morning. 10 am or earlier. The front door is close to operational. The crashbars for the middle and rear stair well doors are in house. Padlocks for the elevator doors are in and hasps will soon be fabricated.
If anyone is looking for ways to help, everything along the pathway in the middle of the main space in the old building is fair game to put in a car/truck and carry over to the new building. This includes the workbench and everything around it.
If anyone is comfortable working on a ladder, it would also be nice to salvage all the black iron pipe, fittings, and valves from the air system to be recycled in the new building.
For y'all looking to work today, here is the list still needed at 2929:
1) repair drywall around FabLab door
2) repair trim around FabLab door and other hallway door
3) remove remaining air lines
4) remove @blundar's workbench
All of that should be considered higher priority than anything at 2701.
