[Mesh] Fun, installing mesh

[max b]

It would be great if there was someone there who could walk other folks
through the cable termination process. It's super easy and once someone
knows how to do it the right way they can easily do all of the remaining
ends without much supervision. Also a great life skill :)

I'll check in again tomorrow or sunday - I might be able to play that role
around noon-3pm but I'm gonna have to play it by ear a little bit.
