[Build] state of construction (storage bins)

[jim]

   i agree that bin boxes are probably better 
than the little drawers, though a mix might be 
right. 
   something easy, cheap, and pretty effective 
is a shallow shelf on which are boxes and 
jars of screws, nails.... 
   "shallow" might mean not very high and the 
shelf pulls out or it might mean not very 
deep and not very high, in which case the 
shelf does not pull out. 

   where in the matfablab is a good place for 
screws, nails...? 

   and how are we doing with the idea of 
moving the matfablab east? might be good to 
defer a lot of stuff until after that's 
resolved: i.e. let's resolve it. i'm mildly 
for it--michael kan's note about air flow is 
something of a convincer to me, reinforced 
by the observation that shop tool noise at 
the east end might help make the west end 
more quiet.
