Hi Mitch et al.
There is a ceiling leak in the back APOffice on the window side of and
over the large press.
======================================================================
ACTION ITEM: Please check the buckets back there, and empty them. A
toilet is probably best.
ACTION ITEM: Mitch Berger, APOffice Manager, said he would follow up
with Facilities. I left his name, email and 3-3788 on Facilities'
FIXIT (ext 3-4948) voice mail system, with a description of the problem.
ACTION ITEM: Please let apo-printshop know when Facilities has
repaired the problem so we can put the Letterpress Shop back in it's
working configuration.
======================================================================
The Press Shop is currently not usable. The large press and lockup
table lights are currently unplugged.
I was in the APOffice working on the Press Shop during the
thunderstorm, when the ceiling started to leak. I got a bucket under
it, covered the large press with a drop cloth, and moved a lot of the
stuff back by the leak elsewhere.
"zwrite -i apo" got some volunteers to help move the heavier stuff,
cover more of the furniture with drop clothes, and add buckets.
We moved the stuff and furniture, both to get it from under the drips,
and to give Facilities room to work.
Some combination of jhawk, jtu, mitchb, et al inspected above the
ceiling tiles and found a crack dripping water, and a gap in the
reinforced concrete waffle. I have not had a look myself.
jhawk and I had to temporarily remove all but one of the screws from
the delivery table, to get the lockup table between the press and the
double green type cabinet. The rearmost topmost screw was left in
place, and served as a pivot. The delivery table has an electric
switch on the bottom, and care has to be taken when working around it.
