Omni Building WG Monday February 15, 2016

who's here?

still need a panic bar on one outer shattuck door
mudding the lower south wall and painting both
- yar: any planned or scheduled times people can help doing that?
- no, it's too sensitive to schedule this. need availabilities to line up, need to not have fumes for big ballroom events
- robb will probably spackle tonight & tuesday, then we can paint on wednesday or thursday
- yar: how many person hours is spackling?
- robb: i can get a layer on in a few to 6 hours. usually takes me into middle of the night, ahrd to say
electrical work on front door
- disability access depends on this
- permit expired - figure out what to do with that
- matt is talking to ryan g about this
- right now exit sign is same circuit as lights. do we need a new circuit? is conduit big enough? check the code? maybe run power off snack bar

acoustic tile in the basement
west kitchen wall
drywall in the wheelchair bathroom
fire alarm bells - robb may have found a source
roof - need fencing to keep birds from pooping inside
- passive air vent above la commune
robb & gerald are gonna install a circuit from first ballroom truss to the stage, for lighting
- see what it would take to get a permit
- if we reopen it for the door anyway, then we could tack this on too
lighting in the entrance hall
- just need to lay boards / metal braces, and acquire fixtures
- it has beams on the ceiling. you'd just need to tie those together. just put them vertically. a lot like the disco room
disco room floor tiling
painting high up in the entrance hall
hang flags / cloth / banners in ballroom for acoustics
- yar: they should say black lives matter
- robb has a bunch of vinyl
- yar: this is a great job to give to a new volunteer
- robb: heavier the better

we need to seal the damn walls
east kitchen wall
- which is gonna take 2x4s
furnace room
smaller holes
- hallway by buried seeds
- upstairs kitchen underneath the counter
- to the right of downstairs pantry door in FNB kitchen

yar: if we had people ready to go.... what steps?
- #1 buy 2x4s
  - we probably have enough drywall, although we may need purpleboard
  - fiberglass panels go over drywall on interior, it's instead of painting
  - we can skip the fiberglass for now and hang plastic over - drywall will still be an improvement
say we buy the 2x4s and purpleboard... then what?
- robb: probably wednesday or thursday, maybe friday... find out days they're not cooking
- how many hours would the whole project take? he's not sure. in the neighborhood of days, and that would be really powering through it.

robb's working on automating all the lights in building
someone's gonna start designing a grand chandelier for the center of the ballroom. found 2 or 3 chandeliers here that are smaller than the others but of the same style. might incorporate those.
