This evening Jim, Ted, Lamont, and I met at 2169 and Jim came up with
the following plan:
Phase 1: Demolition
NOTE: first step in any demo is to make sure what you're working on *is
not energized*.
* pull out flex on wall by where old sewing machines were (flex on wall
is bad)
* remove flex coming out of light fixtures! (2 places)
* remove wire mold against back wall
* remove flex near bathroom wall
* remove wire mold along side wall in front near small room
* remove empty pipe across front windows
* remove rods by sliding glass door
* remove unused coaxial cable
* remove pipe w/#8 wire that comes from a 50A fuse, in the middle of the
space along the ceiling & down a pillar
Phase 2: Investigate/modify
NOTE: first step here too is, make sure it's *not energized*
* pipe by front door with wires sticking out
* wire mold along left wall with hole & visible wires
* figure out electrical in dj booth
* far bathroom light socket
* near bathroom light & fan
* overhead tracks - verify what's in them is black/red/green, or what
* pipe over rear exit door
* bad sockets between rear exit and little room
* breaker box on front window wall w/fuses
* wire from flex to light fixture by front doors
* lights in stairwell
* alarm-looking things plugged into janky socket by front breaker box
Phase 3: Breaker boxes
NOTE: make sure it's *not energized*
* fix dead front for rear breaker box (the one outside the door)
* fix naked copper in a couple of the breakers
* front breaker box:
* pull out all triple and dual breakers
* move single & paired breakers to slots 1, 2, 13, 14
* get Cutler Hammer dead fronts for the rest
Phase 4: Circuit tracing
NOTE: MAKE SURE IT IS NOT ENERGIZED FIRST
* all wires from front breaker. sort into plugs & lights, plugs in 1,
13; lights in 2, 14
* wires from rear breaker box, label circuits at both ends
At this point we will be blocked on other teams' plans, including (but
probably not limited to):
* floor plan - need this to plan outlets and light switches
* kitchen/oven - need this to plan circuits
* bathroom details for light and fan circuit
After those are worked out we can make a detailed plan of work and a
budget for it.
