As we are preparing to install some 5 ghz rooftop nodes, at tonight's meeting we decided to buy some essentials.

We bought:

* 4x nanobridge m5 routers (two large versions, two small versions)

* 2x nanostation m5 routers

* 3x new batteries for our makita drill and impact driver

* 1000 feet of high quality shielded, UV and rain protected cat5e cable

* 100 shielded rj45 connectors for the cable

Total cost was about $970 including tax and shipping.

After this purchase sudo mesh has a remaining balance of about $2600

We are considering starting a recurring sunday installation day where we install at least one new node every sunday. More info on this next week. We still do not have our street-level node firmware finalized but the rooftop links are much simpler so we are going to start rolling those out very very soon.
