Raised Floor Open Office
The floor on the south quarter is done, as far as communications wire is concerned anyhow. The last two positions, roughly center toward the curtain, had no biscuits (block with two cat-5 cables/jacks.) I was afraid I would have to run new from the terminal room, which would require working tomorrow so I could open up the raised floor where the workers are still working, even on Saturdays.
I got my flashlight and searched under the floor and found two unused biscuits. AND the cables were run so that I could pull them over to those last two positions. Had to open the floor in a few places, but got it done without overtime. (I believe I have said before that I do not like overtime.)
Anyhow, as of about noon yesterday, that half is all done, ready for the partitions and furniture to be moved back. Where is it now? Why the north end. Just turn about and there it is.
I have marked the new floor plan, for the southeast corner, with the cable numbers that exist as of now. I need to do the same for the northeast, where all that furniture is. They are not rearranging the electrical/communications boxes, but I do need to verify that I have communication cables everywhere a desk is going to be. A couple of desks are being added to where desks were originally but had been removed over the past. Comm cables may have been 'borrowed' from those locations and need to be replaced or new cables run. Will start that Monday.....
