We've been discussing it since we started moving in weeks ago. I'm not sure whats left to discuss. So far, I and whoever has helped me have been the only people to *do* anything. Things that could have been done to show that someone actually cares about turning it into an office: * Making sure that wall outlet up front is grounded * Putting a cover on the wall outlet * Patching the hole in the ceiling * Moving furniture into it * Setting up this mythical SYNHAK, Inc office computer * Putting locks on the cabinets for secured SYNHAK, Inc storage * Cutting a hole in the wall for a cat5 jack or other outlet * Cleaning the vents in the room * Giving the walls and glass bricks a good scrubbing * Cleaning the overhead light * Sweeping *and* mopping the floor * Patch up the exposed 2x4s on the backside of the office * Hanging a do-not-hack sign claiming that they've got plans * Coming up to me when I'm in the space and offering to discuss an alternative implementation of a welcome desk * Sending private emails to me to discuss alternative implementations * *Any* kind of discussion of an alternative implementation of a welcome desk * Rebuttals to my proposed implementation with a basis in logic and reality I challenge anyone on this list to point out where any item from that list has happened. To date, this is what has happened: * The first week of buildout: I stated many times that I wanted the walls down and gave the supporting argument that it would open up the space and create a more inviting environment * Pulled a piece of trim off to figure out what was in the walls * Removed the thermostat and worked with craig to figure out what circuit was sending 24 VAC through the lines * Put a lockout on the circuit that was doing that and powering the outlets in the wall with my contact information * Removed the thermostat conduit, taped the end off, and coiled it up near the ceiling * Removed outlets * Carefully removed all the wood paneling * Took apart the west wall * Hung the conduit that fed the wall outlets near the ceiling * Removed the lockout, had the circuit re-energized * Openly and repeatedly talked about my plans to finish tearing down the rest of it * Made sure all the nails were taken out of the wood I removed * Stacked the wood in a (mostly) out of the way location * Carefully dismantled the overhead cabinets and north wall segment * More nails removed and wood stacked * Bare wall was scraped of loose paint chips * Floor was cleaned of all dust, nails, wood scraps, and other messes I left behind from the wall * Continued to elaborate on my plans for the welcome desk * Took a break to help with move-in * Started to remove the hardware and trim of the front office Then suddenly it became an issue. For the record, I did not do all or even most of the items on the list by myself. Others helped, though it obviously does not imply their endorsement. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://synhak.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
