[Build] state of construction (storage bins)

[Rachel McConnell]

I've talked to a number of people about moving the shop and have  
gotten responses ranging from 'yes!' to 'enh'. Nobody seemed against  
it as long as they didn't have to do the work. I'm willing to do the  
work on it -- well I can't do it all myself obviously but I'll do what  
I can.

Ben what is your opinion after a few days of letting it sit?
