[57north-discuss] Laser cutter update and trashing suggestion

[Andy Gaskell]

Hi Ed

I think the microwave is useful. A couple of months ago I made a fairly
random burns night dinner for some french visitors with it. They were very
polite, or perhaps just quite hungry.  Next time I'm in I'll clean it up
and find a suitable location for it. We could pop it under the stairs till
then, if it's in the way.  No worries if it's already gone through.

The fridge, I'm not so sure, happy to clean it out at the same time.  Parts
of the space are often colder than a 4-6 degree centigrade fridge, so that
makes me think it's a bit redundant. Maybe in summer it'll feel more useful.

Sounds great, the Lazer cutter site now, nice work, thanks.

Cheers
Andy
