That 's a good point, but I don 't know
if we can afford anything like
that. We could use temporary and easy solutions
like extension cords that
get unplugged after use. If someone could help us out professionally, it
would be a good all around kind of thing.
In the meantime, I think it would be smart if we
dealt with the
following:Make-shift cables and stuff hanging around the space with
exposed
caps(Copper-oxide, dust, moisture and things like beading can cause a
fault-arc on our , untreated, wood floor or other fuel).
Ground everything out. Not only will we get 'dirty ' signal, without
grounding we will have an increased risk of fire for a couple of reasons(i
think arcing is #1).Separate food, water, chemicals and other products
from electronics.
Only use extension cords temporarily. Read the ratings on our
power-strips to see if they can handle the load we are using.Avoid plugging
high-drain devices into power-strips that don 't meet the recommended
load.
Secondary considerations for changing our behavior include:
Tripping over wires, which can hurt humans and gearPotential for
electrocutionAesthetically unpleasingGets in the way of workI 'm willing
to donate $100 extra to the space for a proper power-conditioner, and to
help ground things out, but these are the things I could think of that
would imply liability on our part as a group.
These are just suggestions, but I think they are
good ones.

Do we have access to the electrical panel? Are
there empty breaker spaces
in it? It isn 't too hard to run conduit on the
walls with outlet boxes,
and then have a licensed electrician come and hook up the end to the
breaker panel.

Hello Fellow Sudo People,
This is a good article about why we shouldn 't daisy-chain things in the
space. Any suggestions on a work-around is appreciated. I am offering to
help hack this problem.
