Omni Kitchen Meeting - 13 April 2019

previous meeting: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Event:2019/04/06_Kitchen_Meeting

attendees

• yar, toan, phil, laura

stove

• phil is still working on taking stove apart. yar got wd-40 to get rusted bolts out.

floor

• toan & yar are biased towards epoxy
• ceramic tiles can be less slippery (for accessibility)
  • dk says most kitchens just put mats down for slip resistance
  • we're a long way from ADA in this kitchen cuz you'd need special appliances
• toan is bringing someone in who's a flooring expert. yar wants to be there also.
• we're doing a similar thing in sudoroom this summer
• we should get exact square footage of planned kitchen
• if it's tile we need professionals. also needs more maintenance
• phil says tile is more standard for kitchens
• dk says quarry tile would be cheapest. commonly 6x6 terra cotta color. HArder to install in commerical kitchen becasue hardest grout must be used.
• where to buy the goop? sika? Apparently, epoxy must be installed by a certified epoxy applier.
• if tile, get an opinion about how to prep existing surface. might be greasy. curb under stove also needs to come out. existing red paint is not adhering well.
• do we need any more floor drains? Jim will know

electricity

• Laura's still trying to find an electrician to come look at the panel. Emailed Ken's electrician friend to schedule a visit. Also has idientified a women owned electrical company to contact.
• dk says it's split phase, 200-300amps
• it's free to get construction quotes from pg&e?
  • call their new construction department, will get you a human being
  • ask them what's our max draw right now
  • also about solar panels

exhaust fan

• Yar climbed up to take this picture: https://omnicommons.org/wiki/File:Roof-fan.jpg
  • dunno how to tell if it's explosive. laura is researching
• Model is "ALDP"
• another angle https://omnicommons.org/wiki/File:Roof-fan2.jpg
• plot twist: it was the wrong fan! yar will go back up today
• dk tried really hard w/antonio (health dept) to not have a hood at tamarack. but they required him to have a hood. even with induction to boil water, antonio still wanted a type 1 hood.
• makeup air still an issue

david

so much to ask when he gets here

• window replacement quotes? dk's people flaked. now we need new people.
• met with jim? Jim has budgeted time and is willing to do it but he went on vacation and hasn't written the proposal. We need to nudge him.
• what is an explosive fan? Needed becasue stove/oven cleaners are potentially inflammabel/explosive
• It's not required to have a bathroom on the same floor as the kitchen. Would be nice in the future.

action items

• does ed roberts campus have a kitchen? how do they do accessibilty? yar will find out
• yar will look at stove exhaust fan on the roof
