[Build] electrical team plan

[jim]

   after rachel, lamont, and ted left, andy showed up 
and pointed out that the large gray metal box to the 
right of the front room's electrical sub-panel was 
itself a sub-panel. jim removed the cover so's to make 
inspection a little easier. 

   the plan is thus altered with respect to removing 
circuit breakers from the front room's sub-panel 
(phase 3): 
   inspect the newly discovered sub-panel and trace 
the supply conductors to whichever circuit breaker in 
the bigger sub-panel (i'm guessing a two-pole breaker 
in positions 19 and 20). 
   if possible, move that two-pole breaker to positions 
16 and 17 rather than remove it entirely from the 
(bigger) sub-panel. 
   leave all the circuit breakers in the newly 
discovered sub-panel and trace the circuits they 
control along with any that come from the bigger 
sub-panel.
