Mike, Goose, Chuq, Dan and Dale are renovating and outfitting the workspace. Goose and Chuq are in charge of the warehouse; they supervise and coordinate Tuesday and Thursday nights. I'm available as needed to show up at a store with the FGM debit card or reimburse volunteers for purchases. Reimbursement requires a receipt.
Decisions regarding prepping the new warehouse will be made, ideally, by consensus at the lowest level. If there is no consensus and time is of the essence, majority rules. If there is no clear majority and the clock is still ticking, the supervisors call it.
Generally, we don't want the board making decisions about paint, cleaning supplies or lumber. ;)

I would go to the sherman williams/mab dealer by my house they have fairly reasonable prices on paint (I get a discount for being in the trades) they some times have missed colored paint that can be bought for low money and can still be tinted. As far as the wood Menards is where I got my stuff for my bench will have to go to the mishawaka store for that stuff, I know some of the guys out there, I could work them for a price break because we are a not for profit group. Tom what are your commits on this? Sam club would be the way to go on the shelves if you want to be able to move them if you need to. I have a business membership and I can get in there early in the morning @ 7 am they have heavy steel racks made for heavy storage, and also chrome wire racks, price I don't remember, I can get that tomarrow morning if you want. I would suggest a light color paint white it reflects light and that would help in not having a dark warehouse, shows dirt easier,but helps in lighting the area better. If you don't want to go with Sam's club, Menards has shelving frames that you can buy and just get the shelving boards and screw them together not adjustable as the steel ones would be but most likely cheeper.KevinOn Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 11:02 PM, john jones <rainman121065@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:rainman121065@xxxxxxxxx>> wrote:OK then any suggestions on paint or a plan? or do we just keep it ghetto yellow,,,,,,,,,, --- On *Wed, 11/4/09, Kevin Yendes /<kevin.yendes@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:kevin.yendes@xxxxxxxxx>>/* wrote: From: Kevin Yendes <kevin.yendes@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:kevin.yendes@xxxxxxxxx>> Subject: [frgeek-michiana] Re: Carpentry for warehouse To: frgeek-michiana@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:frgeek-michiana@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wednesday, November 4, 2009, 7:43 PM Just a few commits, used paint is as good as used toilet paper! You can not mix different brands of paint together, the mfg's don't use the same chemical compounds, you can get a chemical reaction. Also if you are painting concrete that takes a different set up from standard paint for wood or drywall. You can put a binder in the paint to help it adhere to concrete. Also without heat most paint doesn't work well in low temp conditions. I can help with the construction on the tables etc. Sam's club has heavy wire storage racks that would work great for the warehouse. They can be mobile with wheels or some can be static. I built a bench for reloading, I used outdoor treated wood bulsters for my legs, precut to just the right height look good and with 1 4x8 sheet of plywood I got a top and a self for storage and it helps steady the bench. Used 2x4's for the stringers and used 6 legs cost was reasonable too.
