Progress 18 Jan 09

by Daniel B on Jan.18, 2009, under Build Progress

Well technically it’s mostly the progress from the 17th, but I’ve been spying on the workmen so I can give sneak previews of what will be seen in the next lot of pictures.

Upstairs we have started putting in the office network, running the longest of the runs of cable, ready for termination once the walls are up.
The cabling should be finished and hidden again in a few days.

We have a happy, humming server recording an image of the progress every 5 seconds, which provides us with some excellent material to do some fun things with later.
We have also been busy, the past few days, testing out some of the new equipment that will be going on the data floor.
You may also be able to make out, on that last picture, the lights of the new power bar on the floor. The power bar, that is. On the floor. Not lights removed from the power bar, cause that would be bad.

Downstairs, the plastered walls are drying out nicely… much more interesting than watching paint dry.
The supports for the suspended data trays have been going up.
More wires have been run for the power sockets.
The busy workers have even started fitting the cover for the power runs.

My spying shows that they’re just about done for today.
The first data tray has been put up … ironically, just in front of the camera.
More of the power runs have been covered.
And I think I caught a glimpse of sockets being wired.

And now it’s time for some pictures of Saturday’s work.
For pictures of today’s, you’ll have to tune in tomorrow.
Same place, but probably different time. If you’re really eager, why not subscribe to the RSS feed, so you’ll know when the next wonderful pictures go up?
