- Note: As next door neighbor's building is directly adjacent to the West wall of the shop, we are unable to put an A/C out the West wall of the 11'x15' Room Under Loft. Options have been to vent the A/C into the garage area.

- EnabrinTain: I talked to the Landlord about getting the outdoor spigot reattached. He was amiable, but we'll need to make absolutely sure not to let it freeze in the winter.
- Spacefelix: I just bought a spigot cover for the Brown Street Shop. We can use that for the 5 Points shop and get us through the winter. However, my understanding of its workings is that it retains heat on the spigot that radiates from the building and the spigot itself. However, with an unheated garage, will there still be enough heat from the spigot to keep it warm? Otherwise, can just throw in a 9V battery and a heating element/LED into the spigot cover and let those two keep each other cozy?
- Ventilation - Our Responsibility, actions dependent on what we plan to do.
