Moving into the new space on Cook St

Shady-tel is a hacker made Cell phone network that operated at TOORCAMP and Burning man . It was also the name of the local area cell phone network (That may or may NOT happen) that operated overtop of 45 west about ~4 years ago or so during an event that has some rings in the logo.

I will give a beer to the first one that sends me a picture of themselves holding a Shady-tel sim card.

Honestly, it is your call. If you’re willing to do the work, then no one else can really criticize.

I don’t have any specific experience with any of these internet providers, but 2 years is a long time for TekSavvy to work through its issues. Telus is also probably one of the more evil corporations in Canada at the moment.

Let’s move the Internet discussion to Internet at Cook St.

I can be at Cook Street around 5:30pm to help with whatever needs doing at that point.

Should I bring tools for bench setup? if so, what tools do I need?

It sounds like there’s a group that’s got internet well in hand. Excellent!

From the Doodle it would seem we have a big need for someone who can get to Penske in Burnaby to rent the truck. Nothing works without the truck. Who will answer the call for a noble and virtuous champion!?

Important question for those people who disassembled and moved the lathe!

Is it significantly shorter now than when it was completely assembled? I
have a measurement at 58 inches by 28 inches.

I ask now because we need to move it and the other large equipment through
a corridor that is only 57 inches wide, and has a ninety (90) degree bend
in it.

That’s going to be difficult if the lathe is still at its original length.

I’d also strongly recommend that we focus on moving the standard sized
pallets first and save any large equipment until near the end when we have
more people to help.

… how big is the laser cutter?

The laser cutter has an approximate footprint of 50 inches by 33 inches.

I can collect a truck - where and has it been booked/paid for?

If the palettes can turn at the corner then there will be no issue getting the lathe in the door.
If the palettes have to… strafe?.. then it won’t be impossible, just tricky.

Other large equipment:

CNC Milling Machine: 48 inches by 36 inches.
Yellow Metal Scaffold: 74 x 28
Semi-Circular Corrugated Metal “Bar”: 66 x 33 (this is on castors, should
be not too bad)
Blue Couch: 36 x 82
Work Bench Parts Pallet: 45 x 52
Beige Couch: 60 x 36

Here’s a spreadsheet with measurements on the vast majority of stuff that
was moved:

Again, I strongly recommend saving the large stuff until later, and
focusing on the more straightforward pallets to avoid the bottleneck of
that narrow corridor.

I was thinking it might be worth temporarily lining the walls of the corner with thin plywood to reduce damage…

I was considering a similar idea where we use painter’s tape to attach
cardboard boxes to the walls. We can raid local cardboard recycling bins
and get loads of it.

I can pick up truck as well if needed. I live near there, I can get it, and probably also drop it off when we’re done, leaving my own car at the truck rental place. I also have a ton of load straps that we used to move things.

Hey, did the remote control for the loading bay door make it into the
space? @garthomite https://talk.vanhack.ca/users/garthomite

If so, where can it be found?

we also need washroom keys

Got the washroom keys cut are on the wall to the right of the entrance door, 3 keys for men, 3 for women.

Loading bay remote is on the shelf at the very back room of the space where the mop is. This remote is borrowed from the property manager as he doesn’t know where to source them. He would be our friend if we help him get some new remotes for the building, we’ll have to return this when we finish the move. Please take care that the remote doesn’t disappear.

The remote is very finicky, i pressed it about 30 times before the gate would open. The current remote is a 61lm (lift master), older dip switch style. I tried using my spare universal but it didn’t work.

We don’t want the keys getting lost. Put a wheel on each one.
