A (nonexhaustive) list of things that need to be fixed around the observatory:
The floor is torn up in places and probably needs to be entirely replaced (low priority, we can throw a tarp over it)
In the same vein, the wallpaper needs to be repaired or just removed and painted over.
The solar system model needs to come down to be fixed/repainted/re-positioned, and the track put back together. It is extremely heavy and high up so we will need a strong person and a ladder at the very least.
The gearbox that runs said system is rusted out and missing gears
The winches that hold up the catwalks could use a little maintenance and the chain is starting to break on one of them (thanks, Jimmy 😒)
The windows are in desperate need of replacement
There are RATS in the walls and I know at least three of you would be pissed off if we just kill them so one of YOU gets to figure out how to get them out of there.
There is zero functional furniture in the space currently beyond some crates and a fold out table we've been using.
The telescope is actually in decent working condition due to my previous efforts but the dome does like to stick, so it's just permanently open because it's too foggy and gross to see through.
General cleaning needs to be done for the whole space. There's cobwebs and dust and dirt sort of everywhere.
this... might be a bigger project than anticipated... fuck I'm going to have to ask more people for help aren't I...
