It’s a super sweet second floor, with tons of natural light (daystar!). The best thing about the new space is that it’s approximately the most accessible location in the city – Dundurn and King. We’ve got a floor plan worked out, with a chem / cnc room, workshop space, and loungey space.

Buildout week starts today! At the open|haus tonight, we’ll be moving the 175 2x4s we ripped out of the old space over to the new one. We’ll talk about how things will work during buildout week and how you can lend a hand. We’ll keep this page updated for folks who can’t make it out tonight.

Infrastructure is coming along nicely. We’ve got ice cold Pop Shoppe drinks, and plenty of fun stories to tell.

In this post, you can check out a Macintosh SE/30 that resides on a chair in the lounge, and the whole group meeting and talking.

Also seen is founding member Jason attempting to install a mailbox, while bending drill bits at the same time.

Come see us every Tuesday at 7pm!
We’re usually around until 9:30, and we’ll be glad to show you around.

A lot of notes were made, plans were planned, ideas shared.

Mitch purchased, installed and cleaned a refrigerator for the use of think|haus, as well as set of coffee cups (in “electric duck yellow”).

We are going to be planning a Makerfair in the next bit, as well as explore possible streams of revenue.

It was good to see some new faces. Hopefully more will come when the word gets out.
