It is in transit to AHA. Currently in customs in California. Before this machine arrives we need to:

Move from top of the stairwell to bottom

• Professional movers/riggers have been contacted by Josh.
• BYB willing to pay for service (~$600)

Build a filter

• Email thread started to finalize which filter to build
• BYB willing to cover costs (~$1,000)

Find out exactly where it's going downstairs

Prep the area it's going in

• Find new location for Craft Area
