Unit Door Lock
R & M recommends key-type, but should we do combo so each of us can access at any time?
Desk/Table(s)
We will use plastic table for now, but if this works out, we should probably get something more practical/nice to work on.
Possible we can get something decent from the college. Better than the plastic table, but not permanent, still good for the interim.
Online Pre-Built two-person desks ~$200. Everything else too expensive, except for maybe Craigslist.
We can possibly try to build our own by buying a nice-enough tabletop material and building the rest with lumber. Advantage of this is customizability, disadvantage may be overall longevity of craftsmanship, lack of portability, and time/money spent building it to acheive sufficient quality to be nice enough to want to work on in the first place.
$220 - 260 ish
idk yet
Prebuilts:
$260 | Walmart - Yes
$202, $220 | Wayfair - Yes, 30 days.
$210 | Target - Yes, 90 days.
Chairs
We may need good chairs to start with, so we don’t mess up our posture working.
Craigslist ads, especially in the Bay Area. Might be something we can fit in the car. Possibly the college may have some extras we can have/buy.
Lighting
Lamps:
2 already acquired, 1 bulb & 1 LED (total 23W) for $14 at Goodwill. If we decide to use them, maybe reimburse. Good for general lighting, point at macro tasks or at the ceiling to reflect ambient light.
Ambient:
LED xmas lights given to us for free. Aesthetic only.
Close/Task:
Perhaps 2 sets of LED light bars like from the light box, we can mount them on blocks w/ Velcro to focus the light on our work surface.
