<div dir="ltr">I don't agree with every proposal for the new kitchen, but I think we all can agree that the current implementation is a 100% loss. It is a health hazard and deterrent for excellent people to come to Noisebridge. Please demolish it expediently. If the community does not agree with the new layout, I'm sure our do-ocratic ways will serve us well in repairing that inconsistency.<div>
<br></div><div>I would suggest not throwing out any large appliances that are removed, such as the double oven, for a period of ~2 months following the teardown. During construction, we could provide alternative means of cooking like a temporary kitchen station with microwave, tea pot, coffee, etc. Also, I suggest posting a notice on the front door if we are forced to resort to chemical means, or produce large amounts of dust to bring the kitchen back to the status of human habitability. (some are sensitive to these things) These are not things that I want from you, but advice intended to save you from drama and anger coming from the community. Feel free to discard it if it obstructs your task. We are lucky that a group has organized to do this work for us. We are lucky that construction can happen without closing our doors altogether during construction. Lets not obstruct this work with any discussion about what we want in the new kitchen. I will assist as much as I can.<div>
<br></div><div>If hackers need something in the kitchen, we will build it or find a way to make it happen. We a a resourceful group. Others will complain and be ignored. Thank you everyone who built the original kitchen, it has served us well. Thank you everyone who builds the new one, it will be even better!</div>

</div></div>Is there a general agreement that this is the right thing to do? I'm<br>
super skeptical about the kitchen in general, and I don't use it myself,<br>
and some of the uses of the kitchen annoy and frighten me, but<br>
demolishing a project that a significant number of volunteers put an<br>
effort into seems like a step that needs plenty of community buy-in.<br>
