View source for Late Summer Clean and Building Maintenance Working Bee Feb 2023

Update: We have archived this page after the event, and created a new page [[Ongoing Cleaning and Maintenance list]] for the ongoing working list.

On Sunday, February 26th 2023, we're planning a working bee to clean up, sort some things out, do some maintenance and get organised.

Here are a list of ideas for tasks that people could do before, during or after the Late Summer Clean, whenever the motivations strikes!

Many of these ideas will only likely make sense when you're in the space looking at it :)
