Meeting w/ Jim - 13 July 2019

attendees

notes

Leave space for dumbwaiter. Have to decide upon location
- Cheapest dumbwaiter ~$7K (dumbwaiter.com)
- Need to take a look at the retaining wall on the north side - Jim and Yar did - another possible location for dumbwaiter is on the other side of the stove, would come up along the corner of the kids room
vNeed to find out CFM - cubic feet per minute(?) requirements for equipment under the new hood - if new hood (as we've budgeted and gotten a quote for), it shouldn't be a problem
Laura: still advocating for induction cooktops, but it seems no one else supports the idea.
One thing we haven't budgeted for is new lighting
Windows may need to become operable
Code doesn't REQUIRE you to have a dishwasher, just a 3-compartment sink - probably want to put in the rough plumbing for a dishwasher if the city will let you
Hiring a General Contractor strongly recommended - will ensure the projects gets done, and done right
Code doesn't require too much specifically re: storage - open/unenclosed storage okay
Freestanding convection oven is the most-used equipment at the Pork Workspaces kitchen (according to Max)
Move mop sink to middle wall if dumbwaiter location gets moved. mop sink will require trenching for the plumbing
ANything cutting into an exterior wall will involve Planning / Historical
Jim reminds us we have to spend 20% of budget on accessibility upgrades

Suggestions from Arthur:

Conveyor at waist height on sidewalk - Jim says they come in 5 or 10', can purchase a stand that will prop it on either end
Second door to walk-in - nixed, we can install windows for easy-access walk-in access (think like a corner store

reach out to licensed electricians and/or general contractors:
- Whitney (electrical) - Jenny will contact
- General Contractor - David has a contact or two
Spec out dumbwaiter locations and dims
Nail down equipment list
Jim will contact structural engineer to look at dumb wiaiter pacement and wheelchair stairlift ceiling adjustment
Call out for shelving!
