[Build] painting! (general)

[jim]

   i very, very, very much hope we're painting the 
ceilings. if we're using a sprayer, it would be 
crazy not to. what to do about the glass in the 
skylights? i say wash, brush away loose paint, 
and paint. 

   per the paint page, seems generally no need to 
sand the edges of scraped paint spots--that's done 
to make things look pretty, in the main. as long 
as the surface is degreased and loose paint is 
removed, the new paint will adhere, and that's 
what counts. 

   as to "square" "old" "plastic" conduit, (most of 
which is "wiremold" brand stuff: remove it. i was 
stupid to think we should keep it, it would be more 
work to thread wires in that stuff than to put up 
new pipe runs. 

   prepping for painting is a good idea, including 
washing. i hope we can stall spraying until after 
the electrical team has got the two new sub-panels 
and requisite pipe installed. 

   i, jim, did a lot of painting in my past, to 
include a lot of spray painting; that was one of my 
favorite jobs and i hope i can do that in this new 
space, including its ceilings.
