I met up with Claudette around 3:45; it sounds like the contractors are
running piping near the ceiling, perhaps 3-5 feet in from the hallway
(parallel to the hallway). This runs over some of the film developer
components that LSC has; I gave permission for the contractors to move
those, they may end up on or near the work tables temporarily.
It also runs over the cabinet of lead type. Apparently the contractors
wondered if that could be moved, but did not want to move it themselves.
They think they can work around it, though -- they have done work in
operative scientific labs where they needed to work around running
experiments, machines that could not be shut down, etc.
They seem comfortable with the glass vacuum table and worklights, for
whose fragility is readily apparent.
APO's light-sensitive cabinet does not seem to be near the planned work.
