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 ====
