timeline

We don't have the time to launch
Can have a big fundraiser mid-stream
Can set up our own crowdfunding portal - skirts the fees/perks, but lose the eyeballs
- Could set up a smaller goal on say, IndieGoGo to grab those eyeballs
maybe we should launch the indiegogo with just the video & text
- julian, grant jenny, robb
scratch launch party
- try to plan a party toward the end of the campaign (6 months out)
in the dirt stuff - plumbing, drain, etc - write updates "every time we take a whiz" on our own crowdfunding portal
david k will have more spoons soon to help with quotes / contacts / etc
Marcus: launch different campaigns for different phases, put all of those campaigns on the umbrella site
Backwater Prevention / Ground Drain - joe sez we can use a bright day to see where it's coming through.
- Robb: Drain sufficiently drained all of the hot water heater water

currently around $45K, probably will need to up to ~$60K
getting close to pulling the max on our electrical - do we have enough juice for dedicated circuits in the kitchen?
- only using 11 kilowatt hours (out of 22), so yes
- gerald: panel outside that could use an upgrade.
need to get quotes for floor sink [joe], mop sink [joe], and windows [robb]
does this include permit fees? - jenny added 3 x $275 = $825

quotes for floor sink [joe], mop sink [joe], and windows [robb]
organize a campaign text / strategy session [jenny]
ask for opinion about splitting the fundraising between 2 sites from our IndieGoGo contact, or about splitting it up into phases - jenny
joe will ask his plumber friend to take a look at the backwater prevention valve
- maybe also the ground
rats - put onions all around? - never mind, cockroaches
git floor plan - jenny
