PLUMBING
The back toilet has been fixed again (Feb 2) … the decaying plumbing is blocking the innards of the filler with flack and rust – so about every 6-8 months it looks like it will have to be replaced.
LIGHTING
The right hand florescent light has ‘bit the dust’. The bulbs are good, but this funky light does Not have a ballast or starter like typical shop lights – both seem to be handled by the proprietary switch and the wiring is the most complex I have ever seen in a florescent fixture. Further the 18-inch size is rather odd (24s are more common) so I can’t just replace the head unit.
1* Rudy has donated to the club a Ferrari red gooseneck lamp with a round bulb. I will replace the right hand florescent with this.
2* As per our club meeting 2/9 I will get some LEP shop lights to hang from the ceiling; -and- see if we can get some small under-counter LEDs to further improve visibility.
