This is a collection of insights from the Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 semesters.
Personal equipment
I (Leon) observed that many students didn't have useful things on their body. I believe that every person should have their own personal:
- work gloves
- head lamp
- multi tool with knife
- notebook and pen
Onboarding
- go through every part of the house together, show where every spice in the kitchen is, every tool, every pot. Show how compost and humanure is being done. Super detailed!!!
- show logins for this farm wiki, how it works, what it is useful for.
Project organization
- have checklists for large projects that are made upfront (e.g. for building walls, two nails every 12 inches)
Logistics around money
- have a folder and place for all receipts
Tools
- have (buy!!) at least one drill and one impact drill, same brand, one set of batteries for them. This should probably be Dewalt brand so we can expand with the same good battery system and other devices.
