Moving into the new space on Cook St

Sounds like manpower will be an issue on Friday - but if that’s the time we have access to storage then that’s the time!

To that end I suggest we focus on simply moving stuff from storage to the shoebox as is, and postpone pallet unpacking until the moving is complete.

I’ve got some commitments that day I’ll have to work around, but I can help sporadically.

I can help from 6 pm on. I will do whatever needs done, continued moving, packing, etc.

I’ll be at Cook St Friday 8-9ish am.

Wish I could! Might pop by after work.

I’m down to help out on Friday from 7 till 9am, and maybe also after 5pm. Just tell me where to show up. I wasn’t involved with any of the initial packing though.

Can we use traffic cones to save ourselves a spot at the loading docks? If yeah I can get my hands on some by Fri.

In terms of pre-Friday work, is there anything critical that hadn’t been taken care of yet? Also, any chance you could link to the pegboard discussion you referred to? I for one sitll haven’t gotten the hang of this site yet, and haven’t been able to find it (or maybe I’m just lazy).

Edit: a school team meeting came up; I won’t be able to make it in the morning after all. Sorry!

I’ll be there at 7:30am and all day (might need to step away for a couple hours around lunch though).

@garthomite do you need any help with the phone? Are you tackling any of the ideas on this thread? PM me if I can be of assistance before Friday.

Is the another walk-through tonight (Tuesday)? What time? (yes there is)

Tuesday night open night is your opportunity to come down and see the space before it’s filled. I’ll be there to answer questions.

Huh?

The idea has been raised by other members that the vending machine could sell one-time tokens. pay the machine, get a code, use the code online to register for a free month membership at VHS. they could be given as gift certificates or used by cash-only members to prove they paid.

Ah. I either missed that convo or forgot about it. Interesting idea.

All done, was waiting for the property manager to cut the number over. I’ll update with details on the other thread.

As for the move in, you can enter #104 on the intercom and it will ask for a code, enter 4862. This code will only work the day of the move, outside of the moving day keyholders can access the door by using the current keyholder pin used to access the bunker.

Wow, great job!

Can we ensure a smooth transition of keys to the actual space to Dan Royer
to facilitate the move?

@ccudahy already offered the keys to Dan on the weekend. If he didn’t get them, he knows who to get them from. @funvill has the other key since he lives close to the area.

The last one is the remote to open the garage door, i’ll be picking that up from the property manager tomorrow and i’ll leave that at the space.

Has Internet been looked at for Cook St?
I understand we can get shaw cable there?

No Shaw. They do not plan on installing service into the building (verified
again by some of the guys a couple days ago).

Novus isn’t there either, looks like it’s Telus. I haven’t called them to
set anything up yet, however. Anyone is welcome to do so.

I’ll have a chat with the ISP I use when I am there today.
They do ADSL and fiber

The location qualifies for VDSL up to 50mbps, though as far as I understand, Telus will only provision up to 25/5 at business addresses.

I work for a local ISP that uses Telus wholesale VDSL services. Since VHS is a registered non-profit (right?), I might be able to get a good price on 25/5 DSL, at least competitive with what we were paying for Shaw. Our regular rates are not at all competitive so it may be a stretch. The “catch” would be that we don’t use consumer grade gear so the modem/router we would provision will be relatively costly and we’re not tooled to support customer-provided equipment.

If someone wants to get rates from Telus and @SteveRoy’s partner, I’ll see if I think there’s any hope of us doing better and pass a request up the chain.

Does anyone have an idea of monthly data amounts that we used at the Bunker?

We hit 500gb last month, but I think that’s very unusual and Ty was backing
up everything on the internet.
