Questions For Landlord

Currently TylerCrumpton is POC between landlord and the board.

  1. Can we cut a small hole for an exhaust in the "front" wall?
  2. Can we cut a medium hole for a window unit like what was done in the office?
  3. If we were able to secure a donated AC unit for the property, could we install it outside the front wall (and to the right, where it would be obscured by the bushes)?

Portable Air Conditioner

  • Suggested Units:
    • Koldfront PAC1401W
      • This unit gets rid of condensation, no emptying of condensation collector necessary (depending on humidity levels)
  • Pledged
    • $100 - Omegix
    • $50 - Daniel Valdez
    • Total: $200

Window Unit

Need to inspect the current window units we have in the shop to see how many BTU they support. If purchasing new, here's a unit with BTU comparable to the Portable AC: http://www.amazon.com/Frigidaire-FRA156MT1-Window-Mounted-Median-Conditioner/dp/B003KWM5RG

  • If we decide to go this route, will contact Landlord for permission.
  • Window Unit cannot be on the walls that are on the property line. This would limit us to the front entrance wall of the shop.

Unit Replacement Recommendation

  • Landlord's requirements for selling existing unit is that the replacement be new, and that we leave a unit as good as the one he installed whenever we vacate.
    • Current Unit - 8,000 BTU, Window Unit
    • Hole in the wall is 25" x 15.75"
  • Link for Estimating BTUs: http://consumerist.com/2007/06/07/how-to-figure-out-how-many-btus-you-need-in-your-ac/
    • 235sqft Room: 6,000 BTUs
    • Not in a Kitchen, but we run several computers in room (estimating 2,000 BTUs)
    • More than two people regularly in the room. Estimating 8 people regularly. (600 BTUs x 8 People) = 4,800 BTUs
    • TOTAL: 12,800 BTUs

Jeff Should be Reimbursed $80 from Makers Local (See notes on pledge monies above). Jennifer said she would cut a check on 5/14/2015

Large AC Unit

  • Daniel V. talked to White's Refrigeration, but they didn't have anything they could donate to us right now.
