  • Need to create a "upload" group.
  • We will turn off "overlay upload".
  • Mike and Foster will make suggested changes will work with Amanda and Brianna

8) Space Decision We took measurements of the first existing bay and the new bay. The existing bay is about 30" wider than the new space.

The initial thoughts are to put a wall up as in the first bay and to get another gate to close the space off. The gate on the first space has worked out well in allowing free access to the area. We understand that the cost of the gate (@$800) is higher than a wall and a door, but the flexibility is worth it.

Clem will work out some preliminary designs on where to put the power tools in the existing bay, using the new bay as storage.
