Managed to put it back in with adjustable wrench, tightened till the rounded end was in far enough that door slid back inside housing, then unscrewed a bit from the inside so that it won't slide back out. Adjusted weird washer piece to press against door. Will still likely loosen up again.

How To Section No, John Wilson has nothing to do with this. How To Clean the Main Bathroom Please use gloves. There's usually disposable gloves in the black cabinet in the kitchen. Cleaning supplies should be under the sink in the bathroom or black cabinet just outside the bathroom: use clorox powder for the toilet bowl, let it soak and then scrub before mopping. use sanitizing wipes for the toilet surfaces. lysol spray and striped rags under the bathroom sink for mirror and sink surfaces. Please also wipe down the full length mirror, light switches, and door knobs. then use fabuloso to wash the floor. There should be a broom close by to the kitchen or at the front to sweep. Please also mop. Since there is not a lot of surface area you don't need a lot of soap and water in the bucket. You can fill it with the sprayer from the kitchen sink. After you mop lease dump and spray out the mop and bucket. Then leave the mop in the shower with the bucket nearby. Bathroom trash can be dumped in any of the larger garbage cans in the main space. Please refill hand soap, also found in the black cabinet. Please make sure there are rolls of toilet paper available on the drawers or on the shelf. Please do not stack toilet paper in the caddy, the bottom roll will get ruined in a flood. You can also find a fresh hand towel in the black cabinet, please put that last one with the dirt rags under the kitchen sink. Lastly please write the date, your name, and the working group you're repping on the sheet on the back of the door.

Usually they're on the basement side-walk entrance (NOTE: the trash bins to the right of the door, in the little fence corral, are for the neighbors not us.) Please check trash in both bathrooms and both trash cans in the kitchen if more than half full please empty bathroom waste bins into kitchen bins please take out bags from kitchen bins if more than half full or just stinky. Please check the round 55 gallon trash cans usually found near the pantry shelves and lift.  All trash cans should get a grey contractor bag from the white red and black "Grainger" box on the silver wire racks left of the front door.  If bins are chained outside the code should be "beans" Thursday Night Trash/Recycling Same as above, but recycling also goes out tonight (please take out all trash and recycling) Please also empty the metal/glass/plastic bin and the cardboard bin in the kitchen/library area replacement bags should be either blue or clear and found in the while cabinet by the basement door Recycling bags do not need to go in a bin, but there may be bags in the blue bin, so please put bin at the edge of the curb if so.

NE wall is not shared. Leaks are likely due to grading of soil at building perimeter, or possibly through building wall, either via cracks or bad mortar at some height, or faults at roof via rundown. SE wall is not shared towards rear portion, and likely has same issue as NE wall. SE is shared further towards woodward, leaks may be from unmaintained entrance to basement space of neighboring building. Backflow Floods Toilets and sink backflow 1-2x/year, under very heavy, fast rain. Water floods gym from rear bathroom, rains into basement through floor. Water floods kitchen from front bathroom, goes as far as 1/2 way across space. When viewed from the basement, tends to "rain" in about a 5-15' radius from location of upstairs water fixtures. Basement floods soak ceiling, accelerating ceiling sag, and other unknown effects re: rot and pests. Response in the past has been to snake main drain. Results of this snaking (e.g. was a blockage detected, material removed, etc.) are unknown. Backflow prevention mechanisms exist: According to neighbors: 583, 585, and 587 (we are 585) all have issues, not clear if this means slow basement wall leaks or backflow issues.

Reports/quotes from visits are at the bottom below table. Script I generally just say: "Hi, I'm calling on behalf of a community center in Ridgewood Queens. When it rains heavily, our toilets and sometimes sinks back up and flood our space. I'm calling to see if you might be able to help us with this." From there it's all up in the air - some places will dispatch someone for a quote, some places might want documentation, some places like Kew Forest want to bill for an estimate visit.

Valve + new drainage pipe reservoir $8-10k. Would be installed in portion of drain pipe in stairwell. Check valve alone would sense pressure rise from municipal side and lock, preventing backflow. However, this means that water can't drain from building, so no showers or toilet flushes etc while valve is locked. There exist alarm systems such that signals can be sent to residents to alert them that valve is locked. Rainwater collected on the roof would continue to accumulate, and wouldn't have anywhere to drain while valve is locked. This could be considered a positive move from current status: total floodwater amount would theoretically be less, given that it would be only roof water vs roof + backflow from sewage/wastewater city lines. Also the flood water would be more sanitary. So even with a $1000 valve, we would still likely flood. To solve issue entirely, plumber suggests running a parallel 5" drainage pipe parallel but higher than existing drain pipe - basically building a reservoir tank into the drainage line. I'm curious about only installing check valve, and modifying basement floor drains to accept larger flow, directed to 50g barrels in basement, with pump to empty them post-flood, either back into drainage lines (sump) or slowly into floor drains (cheap little peristaltic pump). Tidal Facilities Meeting 2025-11-20 Agenda: https://pad.riseup.net/p/nVIx6yAFi1IEaFNhIGc9 attendance: lp, pcm, violet, jimmy (for the beginning) Resulting Action Items from Meeting create sketch of bathroom hutch (@LP) interview pantry folks about their space / storage needs test booting presentation computer off usb linux live image investigate bluetooth presentation clickers investigate wireless hdmi dongles get additional mic stand get music stand for people to use at readings get new xlr cables create documentation & instructions on av equipment available PA investigate better community printer user experience develop proposal for cleaning station (@LP) brainstorm how to incentivize cleaning party attendance design first aid kit (@LP), see consumables page Streamlining Consumables we need to document the baseline cost we’re starting w/ for consumables as a point of comparison list of consumables under consideration on the wiki Soap lp reached out to the vermont soap people describing our needs and asking for recs and they never replied. maybe we can just request samples and try them out. soap needs: floor hands surfaces dishes laundry lp: we could just do different concentrations of castille soaps for the different purposes vermont soap offers 5 gallons for $146 (+ $20 shipping?) Sanitizer / Disinfectant we need less of this than soap Paper Towels used by everyone in the space First Aid Kits lp is against them and prefers to get a toolbox and stock it custom with stuff we get. more sustainable and dependable vs a first aid kit that’s just gonna be missing the most popular stuff most of the time. we should compile of list of things we want in our first aid kits we should have 3 kits: gym kitchen basement Garbage Bags lp: it would be good to standardize around rectangular rubbermaid slim jims (like we have in the kitchen) but they’re not cheap if we stopped moving the garbage cans around the space all the time we would have less recycling in the trash etc. we could label them and find them a home. they are constantly in the way. we need to get consensus on if it’s actually bad that the garbage cans are floating around buying garbage bags in bulk and getting the smallest bag that makes sense for the can would make the most financial sense should we have medium or heavy weight garbage bags iris: should we interview working groups about their waste disposal needs dinner & pantries are the waste-generators Cleaning Method & Tools lp wants to make a cleaning station next to the food pantry cabinet / spray mop w/ a washable head roller mop (sponge mop w/ the ringer built into the mop rather than the bucket) vacuum good dustpan that doesn’t fall over good broom, to be replaced when it gets gnarly labelled spray bottles that describe what they’re intended to be used for and indication/sign that rags are available somewhere else or should there be a separate rag supply paper towels? iris: we already have mops & stuff, but it’s true that they’re inconvenient lp: string mops are better for large surfaces, but if we want more casual spontaneous cleaning, it’s not going to happen with the string mop because of how much prep it requires disagreement over whether we should depend on spontaneous cleaning vs more organized regular cleaning mop 1 or 2 times a month but should sweep more easily lp: for the basement used to always have a fresh rag on the spray mop and one hanging up to dry spray mops break more often Paths to increased cleanliness attaching to more activities & working groups including rentals. make a better space reset plan that’s more specific about how the space should be put back to when it’s over create a one-page pdf that has cleaning instructions & a furniture reset map lp: “making the space more invitational and open is a larger contribution than any individual labor or money that you can contribute to the space“ lp: if you a regular user of the space then cleaning the space should be a regular part of their practice in the space should we ask less labor of groups that are already doing intensive altruistic labor (like food pantry vs reading group) scheduling (like the rotating bathroom assignment) iris: if the cleaning rotation works for the bathroom, why not the rest of the space? p: we still don’t know if the bathroom cleaning is really working until it goes on longer and we see if the labor doesn’t fall on the same individuals within working groups etc lp: we could have cleaning parties “hey come clean we’ll have pizza” doesn’t sound appealing what can do to actually incentivize people to show up to a cleaning party cleaning after dinner is difficult because people leave and if there’s mopping going on it’s typically at 11pm encouraging via tools & layout (as discussed above) Presentation & AV Support / Printer 2d printers sucks lp wants to buy a laserjet 4000 series printer off ebay. retro workhorse oldschool industria this solves a reliability problem but not a usability problem if you don’t have an hdmi cable plugged in while you turn the computer on it turns off we should create documentation of the equipment we have to offer and how to use it we should get more xlr cables & mic stands baseline should be starting with making it easy allow two people to talk to each other at an event Audio lp: could we turn what is currently the computer station into the AV / DJ booth and run cables through the floor over to speakers for presentations, film screenings cole is willing to donate a mixer and other av gear. suggests that we have a smaller mixer at the computer station & route it over to the larger pa generic bluetooth clicker thing would be good pcm: maybe we should just invest in wireless hdmi. it might be lower video quality but someone who wants to be mobile around the space is probably showing a slide presentation or something and is not as concerned with pristine video quality should we mount the PA? what are the use-cases for av film screenings slideshow presentation minimal musical acts panel discussions should we claim an AV gear spot in the new community shelf space? iris: should we just go full wireless for the mics?

Sketches Bathroom hutch idea 2025-12-xx Hutch / shelving for storing overstock supplies idea development TL;DR - If we make more storage space in the bathroom... ...we can clear the shower out for other use (shower, silkscreen cleaning, trash can cleaning. ...we can separate some supplies that are clustered in the black cabinet - cleaning vs kitchen supplies ...we can store overstock of stuff in the small set of drawers: narcan, menstrual products Current setup Hutch version Would be lovely in wood, but wire shelving would be expedient. Discussion from 6/21 facilities meeting Toilet wall is 47" Maybe better to run along the longer 53" wall 12" wire shelf experiment Tried with a 12" deep shelf we had, and it's too close to someone using the toilet. 6 or 8" might work, or a wall mounted shelf instead of floor. What to do Full wall wire shelving Chrome Wire Shelving with 4 Shelves - 8"d x 48"w x 96"h (SC084896-4) $222.89 https://www.shelving.com/products/8d-x-48w-chrome-wire-shelving-w-4-shelves This would be a pretty full wall of 8" deep shelving. Would create a huge amount of space, but maybe change feel of room a lot. How high would we want? Could hold tons of cleaning supplies as well as a full case of TP Wall mounted double wire shelf https://theshelvingstore.com/products/8d-wall-mounted-wire-shelving-w-2-shelves Could also just buy an adjustable two shelf setup, would leave the floor clear, probably feel more open. Wall mounted single wire shelf https://theshelvingstore.com/products/18d-black-wall-mounted-wire-shelf DIY / custom wooden shelving Custom made wooden spans would probably be the best vibes.

Garbage Info & Schedule General RC garbage schedule: Tie off bags and put on curb after 8pm Put new bags in kitchen cans and round cans Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat -- Garbage -- -- Garbage -- -- -- Large trash items (up to 6 items) -- -- Recycling Large metal/plastic items (up to 6 items) -- -- Garbage locations Recycling locations 2 round garbage bins 2 rectangular flip-top bins 2 bathroom garbages Cardboard from pantry 2 rectangular flip-top bins (1 glass/metal/plastic + 1 paper/cardboard) Monday Night Trash Only trash and large objects (wooden pallets, etc) All trash must go in bins, please put tied bags in one of three black trash bins bags should not be more than 50lbs (best estimate/not too heavy) the bins are located to the left of the door when exiting. Usually they're on the basement side-walk entrance  Please check trash in both bathrooms and both trash cans in the kitchen if more than half full please empty bathroom waste bins into kitchen bins please take out bags from kitchen bins if more than half full or just stinky. Please check the round 55 gallon trash cans usually found near the pantry shelves and pantry fridges.  All trash cans should get a grey contractor bag from the white red and black "Grainger" box on the silver wire racks left of the front door.  Thursday Night Trash & Recycling Same as above, with addition of recycling, locations listed at top of page. Replacement bags should be either blue or clear and found in the white cabinet by the basement door Recycling bags can be put directly on curb, but if blue bin has bags in it, please put bin at the edge of the curb. All the cardboard near the front door needs to go to the edge of the curb. Cardboard needs to be: bagged or bundled, with tape or twine - neatly stacked inside of a box is not enough, they have said they will not pick it up.

Multiple small commercial frig/freezxer units vs. household frig and freezer units, these offer easier logistical breakdown (e.g. common frig with designated coworking shelf, dinner frig, freezer with designated pantry and dinner shelves) Would mean more potential equipment failures, maybe more simultaneous units running (noise), but could support much better organization and maintenance. Electrical 2025 Electrical rehab consultation notes There are ongoing known electrical issues that leaseholders would like to see taken care of during the Woodbine/RC transition period. Let's collect issues here, and move forward. Crisis issues Numerous outlets without grounds, reversed polarity, loose contacts, etc Outlet falling off wall behind fridges. Easy practical upgrades Upgrades that seem easy or affordable, to be possibly bundled into crisis repair. Ease and cost will be partly guesses until such time as we get a quote and fuller plan. Mount 3-switch covered box with lighted switches for frig control. New outlet for the lowboy on a dedicated circuit. (may actually be difficult, probably not a crisis though extension cord not ideal like with the other fridges.) Gym: one outlet in the corner near the stereo will eliminate one extension cord. The A/C unit can be swapped to a 3' appliance cord. There is also a lamp in the deepest corner of the gym that is on an extension cord. Adding an outlet seems like a lot, not sure what the best solution is apart from properly securing the extension cord it is on to the wall.  Difficult practical upgrades Upgrades that seem harder or more expensive, to be possibly bundled into crisis repair. Ease and cost will be partly guesses until such time as we get a quote and fuller plan. Replace glass fuse sub-panel. Questions Are we at the level where we could benefit from a load balancer? Is our fridge extension cord setup reasonable? Is the big electrical work recently done complete and done well? Any faults, code violations, or bad work? Better understanding of how gym fan is wired. (220v? are there 110 lines branched off of it?) Possible to have basement lights activated by panel at top of stairs be "dual control" such that if someone turns them off upstairs while people are still in basement, can be turned on in basement? Reference material Map of known 1st floor outlet faults: 2025 Electrical rehab plan Big Ol' List Gain better understanding of power routing 3 phase leg balance (if still relevant) Panel -> sub panel routing (identify lines fed from glass sub-panel) Examine three-phase lines running into space (gym fan, switch in center of main space), determine if they can be used to supply 110 lines, determine what 110 lines are already being branched from them. Replace worn outlets Resolve faulty outlet issues (map below). Most faults may be resolved by replacing outlet, and the new ground from recent mains upgrade. Check for old failure-prone fabric wiring Ensure matching breaker/wire ratings. Properly re-route bx/armored cable runs (AC, stove) to avoid fire/steam pipes Create easier and more reliable/independent pantry frig power management via dedicated lines with clustered switching panel. Give kitchen generous dedicated power to avoid conflicts with other space usage, and ability to dependably run all fridges, and operate multiple appliances at once. Glass fuse panel Replace glass fuses with breaker-fuses, map lines, label Replace with breaker panel or breaker+splice box? Install additional breakers and stub lines to feed basement/basement rear? (110? 220?) Install Marks recommended lighting remote option (Lutron?) to create better switch placement for 1st floor light control. Goal is a 2x 3 switch clusters, one set at front door, one set on frame of emergency exit. Swap 1st FL 2x4 panels for bi-color dimmable panels, free up existing 7 panels for basement use. Maps (blank maps here)   Reference material Map of known 1st floor outlet faults: [bluesky planning] Better General Space Tables The square white tables are strong, but their size and proportion are not ideal for many space activities, the work needed to tuck them away for events is significant - it stresses the tables and presents opportunity for injury. There exist commercial solutions that offer improvements: a better shape for group conversation, and design intended for setup/breakdown cycles. Flip-top "seminar" tables "Seminar table" is a common term, some brands use their own branded terms like "Flip-N-Fold" or "Flip and Nest."
