[Noisebridge-discuss] Varathane Alert! (re upstairs workbench surfaces)

[jim]

   if you're referring to the four-square 
junction box i put in, it's not for 
receptacles, just a box where wires join. 
   the idea is to run a short length of 
pipe up to a set of boxes above the work 
surface. i might be able to move the box 
an inch or so in any direction (i.e. 
dismantle and use a different rear knock 
out hole to connect to the pipe coming 
from the closet interior). 
   i could substitute a box that doesn't 
stick out so far from the wall. there are 
other re-do possibilities; the main thing 
is to avoid replacement that requires 
re-pulling wires. 
   ask and you might receive.
