Ben:

They should NOT move the lead type cabinet.
It's missing four internal tie rods.
(Press Shopers: 
 If anyone want to get buy tie rods and install them,
 get in touch with me separately.)

And even if had them, you have to remove all the trays,
then move the cabinet, then put the trays back.

They could move and return the stuff on top.

When are they starting this work?
When will they be done?

I could come down this weekend, and move it out of the way.
ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE WANTED TO HELP ME.

   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.
