Re: [siteplan] Re: Reactor upgrades - Gen2.5?

"Sorry, pipefitting is a professional skill that we won't turn untrained 
hands loose with, but we could run a workshop for those who would like 
to learn."

Teaching is what workshops are all about.  I will gladly do the work 
workshop style for those who want to learn.  There are some very 
experienced hands in the Coop and I am sure they feel the same way.  
Most of them carry the tools everyday; I, on the other hand am a little 
rusty (forgive the pun). 

I don't want a free for all, so when the time comes, we should organize 
a formal workshop and have people sign up for it.  I anticipate this 
will happen later in the winter - it can happen before the concrete is 
poured, since there is no problem piping up the whole mess and 
disassembling it, then reconnecting a few unions when it lands on concrete.

In the mean time I anticipate the individual processors being replumbed 
(probably by me or Brent) on a one-off basis. I would like them to be 
all the same, so connecting them together will be an easy task.
