(thank you, Maestro) <br>
<br>
To whoever is in charge, <br>
<br>
Please forward the short list of eggrecences below <br>
to the electricians; it specifies some things that <br>
they may initially miss: <br>
<br>
South wall west : 1/2" pipe from sub-panel and <br>
perhaps four square boxes need proper straps <br>
and anchors. <br>
<br>
West wall center : receptacle boxes and pipe <br>
feeding them need proper straps and anchors. <br>
<br>
North wall west : sub-panel fed from floor <br>
internal bus should be screwed tight; cover <br>
needs proper screws; one of the multiple breakers <br>
has a broken breaker (I recall it's the 100 A <br>
breaker that controls the kitchen sub-panel). <br>
<br>
North wall Turing, center of room, floor : junction <br>
box is open; there is a red, white, and black <br>
(supplied by the sub-panel at the top of the <br>
stairwell) that can be used for the Church <br>
classroom--that will need a 1/2" pipe from the <br>
floor box to a new junction box in the Church <br>
classroom: pair red and black with a single white, <br>
use red for lights and black for receptacles. <br>
<br>
Kitchen sub-panel (supplied by 100A three-pole <br>
breaker in the north-west sub-panel) : the kitchen <br>
sub-panel is a mess inside; pipes coming out of it <br>
to the south wall of the sinks should be properly <br>
offset or supported as well as properly strapped <br>
and anchored. <br>
<br>
Generally okay (as I recall): <br>
* most of the Turing wall and ceiling work <br>
* most of the DJ booth work <br>
* work for both toilet rooms <br>
* all of the darkroom <br>
* most of the pipes on the ceiling <br>
* most of the work in the dirty shop <br>
I.e. no hidden problems. <br>

Thank you jim for all your work to the space electrically, the
money you have put into it in multiple ways, teaching, and sharing
in attempts to foster positive DO-ocracy and a positive freely
creative environment...<br>
