STUFF NEEDED

See first - the main pages for ordering:
    🔗ordering and 🔗ordering-new !!!!!!!!

Investment plans to buy land:
    🔗season4

The space needs cool stuff. A lot of stuff is more difficult to find, or is more expensive on the island than in the mainland. Please bring stuff to leave in the space. If possible, organise a collect from your local hackerspace. Maybe an extra 20kg luggage case? Usually bigger spaces have a lot of stuff to share they don't need. If you have good supply prices the space would buy stuff off you. Support with covering the extra flight baggage case is possible too.
