Thanks for the offer, but we are going to need plug in ones. Very
much appreciated though!

I have two fluorescent fixtures you can have. Be aware they
are not plug in to an outlet fixtures but ones that need to
be hard wired. I can't make the warehouse but I can bring
them to the lug on Saturday.

Be careful of the $9.99 fluorescent fixtures, they usually
have quite undersized ballasts and tend not to last very
long. 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.

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).
