Space usage poll

Post by rsilk »

In the interests of seeing what sort of space we need or should aspire to, what sort of things do people want to do in the space? You should be able to check all that apply, if I've done this right. If I've missed something, leave a note in the comments.

Maybe also comment with more details, project ideas, etc?

My opinion is to start out with uses for the building that take up the least space, as space=money. So until we can afford more space, try to get by with the least sqft we can.

I wasn't sure how to answer this. I would love to have the space to do woodworking, automotive work etc. but in reality the vast majority of what I see myself doing is software, electronics, robotics, CNC/printing and socializing. So that's what I voted for, the things that will keep me around.

But let this comment be my vote for the rest of them. In an ideal world we can all have our cake and eat it too.

I think starting off small is a good idea to save money. All the things I voted for take up little space. I can also bring in some tables and chairs to do projects on if there are none available.
If anyone needs any help with any of the sites (wiki, membership, forms, etc...) you can contact me on the support forum or at adam(at)florizone.com .
