== Objective ==
Organize and package all equipment and contents of HackManhattan so the space can be moved to another location within two full days with transportation/movers.

== Synopsis ==
Given that our lease for 137 West 14th Street is over in December, and the likely sale of the building requiring tenants vacate, the best course going forward would be signing a new lease at a functionally similar location by the end of 2021. Potential spaces have been scouted by members between the end of 2020 till 2021 and can be found in [[Elbow_room]]. Regardless of the reason, timing, and destination of the departure, the actual move will go a lot smoother if we prepare in advance. While the space is still restricted from public use. Hikkoshi, the Japanese word for changing residence, is a reference to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynEjnebw8LA youtube video] that documents the moving process executed by a professional moving company. If we take the time and effort to properly pack and sort the contents we wish to carry on with the future of HackManhattan, it will drastically improve the transition process.

===About===
Japanese word Hikkoshi means ~~moving.~~ but in a boss-ass way.

== Estimated Budget ==
* $500 for plastic containers, label strips, duck tape, delivery
* $1000 for carting service (optional)
* $2500 professional movers

== Estimated Timeline ==
* Time to completion: ~1 months time
* Active work hours: ~100 hours

== Phases ==

=== Reduction Phase ===
* Coordinate member storage return, accommodate remote return options like mailing
** This will likely involve reaching out to each past and present active member individually on a call and confirming what should be shipped.
* Assign any equipment that can be used by members for temporary loan (vinyl cutter, 3d printers, disk sander).
** Vinyl cutter assigned to @kario
** Sewing machine
** Disk Sander
* Disposal: Dispose of at least 1 milk carton worth of contents that won't be needed in the new location (starting 2021-09-17)
** Online sale: either via ebay or craigslist.

=== Storage Goals ===
* Standardize all storage containers to durable plastic bins (container store?)
* Determine if equipment/contents is worth moving, with estimates for replacing.
** Does the equipment cost more than $200 at present retail?
** Is the equipment heavier than 10kgs?
** Examples include the lathe, mill, laser cutter
* Document items, track existing inventory
** Since the things tool will likely be decommissioned at this point, we'll need a new way to track.
