      * Front lease
        * Michelle no longer wants the full space she is currently using. We are renewing our lease with the plans that Michelle will downsize and we will take over more space. She will keep ~$400 of space. This will put us ~$100-150 in the rent in the short term but will not take us long to recover. 
        * With the expansion we can move more clean space stuff into the new area and restructure and gain more dirty room space
