[Build] Flooring work

[Naomi Most]

A bunch of us had talked about doing a single poly coat, nothing
more... but I'd defer to your expertise.

As for timing and getting a group together: for obvious Noisebridgey
reasons, it's really hard to know when one can safely assume the
floors will be cleared.  Having 2-3 days notice is pretty luxurious,
I'd say.

Fortunately, we have about 40 people on the volunteer sheet and a good
handful specifically interested in flooring. I'm sure if you just
emailed the Flooring group, some agreement could be reached.

If you have a really bad time organizing this, btw, I'll take it on
the next go-round.

Flooring this week would be ahead of schedule, actually -- so by all
means, attempt it, but don't worry too much if it can't be
accomplished.
