[hackerspaces] Does a space need water?

[Matt Joyce]

Plumbing is a must...

Slop sink aside... if you intend to get into brewing you'll eventually get
into automation and that will require plumbing.

BEYOND that...  dish washing, cooking, chemistry, ...  the list goes on.

Cleaning Feric Chloride... lasered materials... yourself....

I mean... yeah... get plumbing.  definitely get plumbing.  Hell we just had
a whole kitchen including gas stove dropped off here.
