Hi Committee,

The snack machine refrigeration retro-fit is not quite finished, but is 
very close, and the hardest part (mounting it on the machine) is complete. 
To the best of my knowledge, all bought-out parts necessary have been 
bought. Given that, combined with the infrequency of committee meetings at 
the moment, please approve reimbursing me today (I've added the total to 
the agenda and emailed treasurer@ the receipts).

Things left to do:
- plumb in the drainage hose
- hook up power
- attach evaporation pan to the underside of the machine
- seal up assembly with silicone

...all up, around 3 hours more work.

There will also be a future reimbursement to renderprism of approximately 
$17, since two of his drillbits were broken during the work and need to be 
replaced.

Finally, in the interests of full disclosure: 
If you look on the coffee table in the clubroom you will find the 
evaporation pan for the fridge - it's in pretty bad condition and had a 
hole in it, which we've patched. I suspect the hole is why the tav threw 
out the fridge, as it would have been leaking on the floor on humid days. 
This pan will work for a while, but it's an older design that runs hotter 
than it needs to, and the walls are wearing very thin in places. I think 
we should replace it relatively soon once we have everything working - 
cost $110 to $170.
