Glad this is up and running again! Sometimes it just takes the time and focus of one or more members to move it forward. There is a balance of buying tools and paying for help we need as well as self sufficient DIY… not sure there is a specific timeframe or answer or it probably depends on the tool/project in question…
I have also seen this ‘per member’ math a bunch in the past on discourse, and it makes no sense- £2500 is £2500. We could spend on something else or save.
So in my opinion coming up with how many pennies each thing costs per member per month is not a good way to budget at all as everything is ‘cheap’ if you divide it enough!
