I try to do a thing at events where I ask people to:
A: in 30 seconds, name something you like about the infrastructure
B: in 30 seconds, name something one thing about the infrastructure that could use improvement
I try to write down the suggestions that are new, and this year we got a lot of new stuff.
From the
pdc:
- hand washing station near the dish washing station
- more natural light in the classroom
- more air flow in the classroom
- another willow feeder
- better chairs
- better fly control in willow bank
o I think there are near zero flies, but there may have been one or two
o I like the idea that augment the fan so that it goes up, over the roof
o I think we need signage on the lids that say "put lid down when not in use!"
- move dish cleaning station closer to where the food is served
- let people know, before they arrive, that we have excellent drinking water
- better internet
o we currently pay for 25 down, 3 up, but what we get is 5 down and 2 up.
o i have contacted our provided to get prices on a custom internet solution featuring gigabit internet
o the
ATC improved our antenna that serves the classroom
- let people know, before they arrive, that we have good verizon connectivity
- more growies
- more shady bush pee spots
- provide sawdust for some of the most popular pee spots
from the
atc:
- lower workbenches (or a collection of different size stools)
- mobile project carts (for certain
tools or types of work)
- screen door on the classroom door
o keeps the cat out, and lets in more air and light
- lots of "you are here" maps
o with a focus of where the most interesting things are
- short (1 foot) hose on hydrants
- more
lights on the showers, for late night showers
- hand washing station for when people have been working on super grimey stuff and want to clean their hands before eating
- ability to quickly move skiddable structures
o I think that this would involve some rollers mounted on the sides of the beavertail trailer
- more places to discreetly pee outside
- padded classroom chairs
- another vise
- a proper anvil
- more labels for where tools go
- more porta-cabins. Like maybe 20.
o a big
workshop where several cabins are built
- a proper well at the lab
- a broom in the big
shower
o people track sand in, and once they are clean, they are getting sand on the bottom of their feet
o maybe we need a bit of a door mat just outside the
shower? Something good for bare feet?
