Chuq has all the paint supplies including a 5-gallon bucket of latex semi-gloss white from Menards. The ReStores (SB & Mish) did not have any full buckets of white of any kind.

When we were at the table last week and i pushed on the wall,i dont know if anybody else noticed that wall didnt just move a little,the whole wall practically swayed,which means the framework is either dry rotted, split,loose,old whatever have you,and ill bet anybody 5 dollars that parts of the bottom wall support is un anchord from the floor,my point is before we start paint and hanging shelving we should try to inspect and remedy that problem,personally i dont think 37 hardrives falling and hitting me in the head would feel very good...................................................--- On *Fri, 11/6/09, chuq jackels /<chuq00@xxxxxxxxx>/* wrote: From: chuq jackels <chuq00@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [frgeek-michiana] Re: Warehouse Plan of Attack To: frgeek-michiana@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Friday, November 6, 2009, 12:40 PM ok I just went and got supplies for painting, We HAVE paint trays, roller heads, painters tarp, corner brushes. We are borrowing and will have 3 rollers with handles, a flat head shovel, scaffolding. Karl is donating a bar code scanner for inventorying. We need 5 gal. bucket of white (or some other light color) paint which Tom said he is going to pick up. So we are almost set for painting to begin on Tuesday!

Often you wind up replacing the bulbs and fixtures. I would recommend using T8 fixtures w/ electronic ballasts. They are much more energy efficient, put out more and higher quality light. I would also recommend mounting them on the tables if possible so that the light is where we need it. I wouldn't hang the lights on a pulley system, I would mount them no more than 12' off the floor for maximum effectiveness. My impression was that the overall light level now is suitable for storage and we would only need additional lighting over the work areas where we are doing assembly and testing. I won't be able to be there this Thursday, as I only have enough gas this week to go to work, but will be there next Tuesday. -----Original Message----- From: chuq jackels Sent: Nov 4, 2009 2:16 PM To: frgeek-michiana Subject: [frgeek-michiana] Warehouse Plan of Attack Some of the items that we came up with that we need to get the shop up and running are : 8 - 4' Florescent Lights ($9.99 ea. at Menards) 2 Cases of bulbs (cool-white) for said lights (12.99 ea. @ Menards ((if I remember correctly)) ), 5 gal. White paint, a couple of rollers, A push broom a regular broom, and a good metal dust pan. We will also need some chain to hang the lights from the ceiling with. Imre has some scaffolding that we can bring over and use to put up the lights. Thinking about the lights, I am thinking it may be an idea to put the lights on a pulley system so we can lower them down when the need arises to change the bulbs! I will talk with Imre and see what he thinks the best idea is for that. The schedule that we have made (providing materials are available) 11/5 Thursday Night: Deck scrub the floor in the Office area, wet-dry vac the water up, reaffix some of the loose panels that are there. 11/10 Tuesday Night: Paint the Office 11/12 Thursday Night: Hang Lights & start the building process 11/17 Tuesday Night: Continue Building 11/19 Thursday Night: Finish building (hopefully) 11/24 Tuesday Night: Closed 11/26 Thursday Night: Closed happy Thanksgiving 12/01 Tuesday Night: Start organizing Office area 12/03 Thursday Night: Continue organizing Office area 12/08 Tuesday Night: Start organize Storage area 12/10 Thursday Night: Finish organizing. We are going to need some extra hands at the warehouse to get this stuff done and from my understanding we have a commitment of 2-3 people each night so far, so if anyone is available to help out please show up! Thursday night warehouse will be starting about 6:15pm until about 10pm. Goose and I talked last night about some things that we need to get accomplished and one of the main things that we came up with is that we need to either find a way to have a Thrift store like all other Free Geeks do, or eBay, Craigslist, yard sale, or consignment at my shop (25% to the shop 75% to FGM).
