[Noisebridge-discuss] More lounge-like atmosphere @ nb

[jim]

   thanks to erin's organizing, we've got a start on 
local lights: switches to control lights in different 
areas of the space. work left to do is 
* terminate the pipes going up to the ceiling by 
adding junction boxes and additional pipes on the 
ceiling to go to more junction boxes that will have 
flexible conduit (metal clad or some such) going to 
light fixtures. 
* pull wires 
* install switches 
* redo existing light fixtures per locales. 

   if you want to help, great! probably best to 
send email to build at lists.noisebridge.net letting 
the build list folks know; they'll know where the 
materials and tools are (along with instructions 
about doing).
