Pine 2x4 tables, good melamine tops, using solid core doors from Habitat Restore, on castors

Need to have mechanical assembly and a woodworking bench

Formal motion to move shelves as Reynolds suggests, by Font, Seconded by CoffeeIV, 6 yeas 2 people zoned out

Some discussion of not breaking up the space into small partitions so people don't congregate, because of COVID to encourage spreading out.

Rick: suggesting that all of his put up a blurb up about what they are good at. Mention of finger server.

Reynolds polls room for input on downstairs

Albatross talks about emergent design vs. intentional design, we should be intentionally designing right now instead of just letting things evolve.

Vote to move forward with further developing Reynold's proposal for the underworld / downstairs

Discussion of disposing of carpet -- general agreement it is not useful.
