[hackerspaces] Does a space need water?

[tetsu yatsu]

At FAMiLab our bathrooms and source of water are a bit further than we'd
like, but we do alright. We got a water cooler (Office Space style) that
chills and heats water for us. We cook ramen with it.

But we don't do any chemistry or much requiring water. When I was bending
PVC for our geodesic dome project, I got a small plastic box and put some
water in it.

IMHO, not that big a deal. You'll learn how to better outfit your lab in
time. It took us 6 months to realize what we wanted and needed, so we could
have even gone with a 6 month lease.
