[Spacecadets] Expansion of Quelab

[drew at hardcorp.io]

Last autumn, Walter said Quelab was barely in the black. Our membership 
is up by at least ten now. That's an extra $400/month revenue, so if the 
south space costs $1000/month, then we need another $600/month to stay 
in the black.

The storage area in the south space that Alice wants to rent is 22'×5' 
(110 sq ft). (It's actually a hallway, but the door at the other end 
should remain closed (and it's lockable from inside the hallway), since 
it opens into a corner of the metal shop that's mostly blocked by heavy 
equipment, and the door to the small tool room in the north space is a 
more convenient way to get into the south space anyway.)

The walled office in the south space is 20.5'×10' (205 sq ft), so the 
current total lockable space is only 315 sq ft. Alice, will that be 
enough to store your stuff, or do you need a full 500 sq ft? How long 
would you want your initial lease to be, and what would be a reasonable 
price?

Ben, for the 50-100 sq ft of bench/desk space you want to rent for 3-6 
month terms, what would be a reasonable price?

Assuming $1/month/sq ft for walled space and $0.50 for open space (just 
guessing), those rentals would leave a deficit of only $235/month. 
Another six members would pay for that, and at our current expansion 
rate we'll probably gain them by the time we sign the new lease. Even if 
the rental prices should only be half what I'm guessing, that's still 
only another 11 members to cover the deficit.
