Operation FILTH
or, How to inflate our dirty room to 200%
Summary / Outline:
- Removing wall dividing dirty room from adjacent room, creating one larger room;
- Change flooring to laminate for much easier & faster cleaning (sweeping)
- Putting long workbench in, making high work tables in front of dirty room redundant
- Putting in sink to facilitate light chemical/paint/etc work, sparing kitchen sink
- Rethinking layout and tool placement, rectifying mistakes made, etc.
Date / Period:
Unknown, not set yet, to be determined. But starts very soon. Planned is no later than September.
Participants / volunteers:

Task list / Timeline
Rough task list, to be refined/updated. In this order, generally.
- Relocate remaining network equipment outside, well shielded from dust(!!)
- Take just about everything out of the rooms, store intelligently. Dustproof the rest.
- Make sure the high tables in front of the window are not blocked by that stuff
- Take out the parts of the ceiling tiles and supports that will interfere with our work
- Take out the air conduits that risk getting pierced/damaged by flying debris.
- Tape dustproof/watertight everything that needs protecting, like the fusebox and...
- Disconnect the electricity outlet+cable that is inside the wall we're taking down.
- Tape the door+doorframe so dust is contained inside rooms as well as can be
- Arrange for protective wear: dust masks, eyewear, ear protection, builders' helmets...
- Break wall down (with what, possibly rent tool?)
- Dispose of the debris. Inquire what (if any) possibilities exist at UR
- Plaster/fixup walls where needed. Paint 'em too?
- Clean everything up well
- Where needed, egalize floor so it can support laminate
- Put in laminate floor, wall to wall
- Remove wood from door bottom to accomodate new floor
- Design/purchase/build a (rubber?) dustproof strip to put on door.
- Rearrange ceiling slats so the ceiling will be seamless
- Cut ceiling tiles to match, where needed
- Block off one door, (possibly using extra insulation?)
- Build and secure the benches using the high tables as frames + Gamma plywood
- Paint/varnish the benches (perhaps??)
- Put some powertools in, where appropriate, like on walls or on dedicated platforms.
- Put sink in, drill through wall to kitchen, arrange water conduits
- Redo/expand/fix electricity. People have expressed desire for emergency cut-off switch
- Make a casing around the fusebox to shield it from splashes & vapours from sink below it.
- Arrange storage space for:
- Wood; sheets
- Wood; scrap pieces
- Wood, metal, plastic; lengthy stuff like rods, pipes, sticks, etc
- Wood, perhaps metal; large beams
- Metal; scraps and small sheets
- Power tool storage off the benches
- Screws, plugs, bolts; re-hang red drawers etc
- Hand tools from tool board and/or office drawer block
- Put everything that remains back inside
Optional, perhaps outside of the scope of this project
- Split toolboard up into soldering tools and other, move soldering tools west.
- Create tables or [......] in front of the windows now that that becomes unoccupied
- Reroute/replace UTP to new location of core switch(es) (glass room? or not?)
- Perhaps relocate audio mixer to more central place (if so desired)
- Perhaps create fume hood over/around sink?
