That is a correct summary. The cost is high due to the requirement of conduit. I don't know what the technical specifications of the 3D printer are and I'm unsure as to where it will be located. We will figure that out and see if our existing infrastructure can handle our new "baby" I am hopeful it does not require a 220 Volt or 110/20AMP circuit, but we will cross that bridge when we come to it.

Ian, can you confirm what (in broad outline) this quote covers? I know that you've been negotiating with the landlord about some of this, and that they had agreed to handle some of it... but I think we had the following on our electrical wishlist: * kitchen outlet over the sink - move and install gfi outlet * outlets on the north (?) wall (behind the projector screen) to be reconnected to power * outlets to be installed on one (or both?) pillars between the lounge and workshop * dedicated circuit for the drink machine (due to very high draw when compressor kicks in) Also, we probably now want a dedicated circuit for the 3D printer: since print jobs can last hours afaik, it would be unfortunate to have it blow a breaker midjob. Courtney, I'm hoping to combine all outstanding issues, including the security system (software & door) into a mega-project to essentially bring the space up to code. If you or anyone else is aware of any other issues, please let me know and that's how I'll draft the proposal for the bingo or anything else I can find that we might qualify for.

They will only give us enough money to complete a project and the money cannot be used for operating expenses.

I think one of the biggest delays is that we didn't have a list of item for which we needed money - with the electrical plans, we now do (and even if electrical does happen for cheaper we can likely apply it to rent!) I never go the the casinos/bingo, this will be interesting.
