[Build] Build Update

   seems to me the wind is constant from the west, 
over the roof, to the east, with varying intensity, 
of course (but rarely if ever from the east to the 
west). that means we have air pressure trying to 
get into the west windows along with a low pressure 
area outside of the east windows (the wind coming 
over the roof tries to suck air up as it passes 
over the alleyway in back (east). 
   that might be sufficient to air out the room in 
all but the exceptional cases, and if so, we should 
consider if we can deal wtih the likely exceptions 
with a large portable fan or something else. 
   one issue is electricity: our space has 250 Amps 
available, we can figure about 400 Amps under the 
assumption that we don't use everything 
simultaneously. every powerful device (e.g. the 
cooktop and oven) reduces the possibilities for 
using other devices. we probably have enough power, 
but it would be prudent to get real numbers and 
think out our power needs in more detail than we 
have so far (in fairness, it takes time to think of 
all possibilities and their trade offs).
