Near-Term Construction / Projects

bigger:

  • foundation/chimney project (!)
  • partition wall between bedrooms
  • possibly remove bedroom carpet
  • fume hood in kitchen

smaller:

  • window shades
  • replace all external door locks with deadbolt option
  • minor gutter fixes
  • remove any unused extra external wires (duplicate cable/phone lines)
  • reinforce/tighten support cable for main power connection
  • adding bike hooks in the garage might be a short term project to consider

Move In Tasks

  • get movers for bigger items?

accounts:

  • security system: get account switched
  • utilities switched over
  • "right*size" trash/compost bins and subscription

maintenance:

  • garage door: fix sensor, change code, get "clickers"
might even want bike "clickers", or some phone system
sensor/security if garage door has been left open?
  • irrigation system de*winterized and running
  • mosquito control / cleaning of oblesk water pool
  • check and set thermostat; replace if needed

House Infra

networking:

  • fiber ISP?
  • network panels in workshop room
  • maybe small/quite servers in workshop room? not too loud or hot
  • some ethernet has been run already, should check where
  • existing router, multiple wifi access points

sensors:

  • full*house electicial power, water
  • could be privacy concerns with granular data

consistent/integrated power and lighting control? doesn't seem urgent

house has no A/C. maybe we should get a cheap/used window unit that we can pull out for hot summer days if needed?

Front Porch

a comfy chair or two? the hanging chairs at current house are nice

Foyer

  • coat hangers
  • shoe storage
  • bench for changing shoes (existing)
  • will need to figure out fireplace situation


Main Floor Rooms

  • additional bookshelves


Kitchen

the kitchen area doesn't have much counter space, and most storage is "closed" (behind doors). I think we'll want to expand out in to the open room/area nearest the kitchen.

maybe a low "kitchen table" to sit at.

bar:

  • solid wall shelving for liquor (existing shelving isn't very good)
  • storage for glasswear
  • maybe a small secondary fridge for vermouth, simple syrup, etc?
  • working area for making drinks: citrus, shaker, jiggers

coffee/tea:

  • table/area for espresso machine, grinder
  • storage for tea, cups, brewing

storage:

  • open shelves for additional glass jars, spices, clear containers?
  • larger equipment like pacojet, mixer, frier, coffee roaster
  • daily cups, plates, bowls, etc: are the big cabinets good for this?


Vibes

books+plants seems like a baseline.


Basement

"bedroom":

  • maybe bold painting to make this a friendlier space?
  • paint the ductworks bright primary colors
  • murals/shapes on walls
  • good lighting (color*control?)
  • could have a small folding desk?
  • monitor/tv?
  • put the current basement bed in this room

large open room:

  • could be a movie room (darker than other rooms)
  • could put standing desk just under window at back wall (the one we have near front door at 908 15th)
  • large storage shelves
  • outdoor gear storage
  • chest freezer? paco freezer?
  • shoe storage
  • wet shoes, then white carpet, even if just taking shoes off, hrm. replace/remove carpet, or put down some covering?

"abyss" nook (bare concrete):

  • put down some non*rusting metal riser on floor (damp)
  • bulk food storage, like cans?
  • fermentation?

workshop room:

  • tool storage, some work space
  • better lighting
  • stool or two
  • electronics, microscope?
  • ventilation for soldering (there is a window, could run a vent)

Fun

  • awesome sound setup that can shake the whole house
   * (probably makes the most sense in the living room)
  • projector/screen in living room
  • sparkling water tap
  • display in main area showing light link schedule ("next train")
  • way to connect pizza oven to the outside gas line
  • lighting on back deck
  • barrel sauna / hot tub?
