# 26-09 - rolling basement discussion

#### Basement coordinating page, september 2026

There are lots of little projects and decisions to be made re: basement.  
We barely ever meet.  
Meeting time tends to be taken up by long discussions.

While those discussions are important, there's lots of small actionable stuff that gets left out.  
This is another experiment in coordination via a page

### Doom

- #### Blue K40 laser etcher/cutter
    
    
    - Brought in 3+ years ago.
    - Missing components
    - We haven't set up ventilation
    - We could have a budget to purchase such time as we're prepared

- #### Vivosun tent
    
    
    - Had been used for screenprinting exposure and drying
    - Takes up a lot of floor space ( 4x4', floor to ceiling)
    - Could use dimmed lights + curtains + folding box to block of exposure area
    - Could build exposure drawer under bench
    - Could build janky cardboard exposure box under bench

- #### Fire extinguishers
    
    
    - Figure out what do with these generally.
    - Went by fire station, they said they can't help. ~LP
    - Called 311, they said to take to a SAFE disposal event, there are a few coming up, but not physically convenient to RC.

- #### Brown task light
    
    
    - Seems finicky, have had to adjust bulbs
    - Takes old-style fluorescents
    - bulky
    - We have better options

### Homes for stuff

Dollies under elec panel?

We have dollies kicking around all over the place.  
Might be nice if all shared dollies were leaned up here.

## Dust Wall

- Would be good to trim the bottom edge (tripping hazard)
- Even better to add a weighted hem (have sand)
- Some sections should be "walls"
- Some sections could probably be panels or strips, either from cut down tarp or vinyl strips ala walk-in cooler.
- For portions that run cross-basement, setting up structure might help:
