The work-products that we want to generate are:
1) approximate current budget
2) spending wishlist
3a) guestimates for when we outgrow the basement
3b) what a move entails
4) rough budgets for 2x our size, and 1/2 (catastrophe!)
5) really rough budgets for 100k and 1M (& maybe 300k)
==== 1) approximate current budget ====
- TODO: ask Eads to email the bank transaction details to us
==== 2) spending wishlist ====
- better fluorescent lighting
- rent the rest of the basement ($1000-$1300/mo)
- better shelving
- pallet scissor jack (~$700 manual, ~$3000 electric)
- or, if not a lift-jack, at least a second pallet-jack (~$350))
- increase the wage for current paid staff
- bring more people onto the payroll
- more test equipment ... ?
- more tools (screwdrivers, etc)
- soldering equipment (hood, etc)
- vehicle (one that needs less repairs)
- moving to a bigger space (broken out on a separate page)
- plastic tote boxes, drawers for smaller stuff, better labels, better/more ziploc bags (or dry cleaning bags), etc
- posters (printouts of DeviantArt/etc component diagrams, or buy them legitimately)
==== 3a) guestimates for when we outgrow the basement ====
(we started walking around the space, and discussing various hotspots of wasted space, we didn't yet get to an estimate of our current size, etc)
==== 3b) what a move entails ====
