[Build] electrical team plan

[jim]

   there's no way to know even approximately until 
after we've collectively settled on the layout and 
needs in various places (e.g. soldering, motor tools, 
cooking, hot water...). 
   for now, i'm figuring i'll proceed as i did with 
the 83C space: buy stuff as needed. as our first 
work is demo and mapping, there'll be no spending. 
there may be some spending associated with the 
inspection and modification phase (2), and if that's 
on the order of a few bucks here and there, i'll 
proceed as described (buy it and submit invoices 
for reimbursement). if there's something on the 
order of $100, i'll run it by somebody or another 
before purchasing (or buy it and take my chances 
on approval). 
   foreseeable costs will include a few circuit 
breakers, pipe and fittings, and wire at least. how 
much of what will depend on collective agreement of 
what we want where (per above).
