[Noisebridge-discuss] electrical build meeting wednesday?

[jim]

   how about those interested in helping out with 
electrical work meet wednesday between 6 pm and 8 pm? 
i can make that time. 
   i might be able to make a time during the day on 
wednesday, tho' i can't say for sure just what time 
yet. (maybe breakfast or lunch? pipe up.) 
   meeting should be at 2169 so we can look at what 
we've got to do. 
   the first jobs are to 
* map the circuits 
* raise the ceiling lights above the top of the 
barrier walls (all of which will be removed) 
* remove electrical pipe, boxes, and flex from the 
barrier walls 
* remove flex from exterior walls 
* maybe replace some receptacles 
* improve the wiring in the sub-panels 

   if you've never worked with electrical stuff and 
want to learn a bit, you're welcome. 
   tools needed are three sizes of screw driver: 
one for #6 (used with switches and receptacles), 
one for #8 (used with junction boxes and conduit 
fittings), and a large one to remove panel covers. 
you can do a lot with just the #6. 
   paper, pen or pencil, some kind of markers 
(colored tape or permanent or other ink...) are 
also needed. 

   long nose pliers are handy as are wire cutters 
(not the kind used for electronic work, bigger). 
   a multi-meter helps determine which wires are 
connected to what. 
   if you've got some kind of portable signal 
generator, that might be useful ('specially the 
kind that's got a receiver: put the generator on 
the end of a wire then run around with the receiver 
to determine where that wire goes).
