Opal’s House Computer Lab: 2 Measurements Requested
Dear Essie,
I write to let you know that progress is underway for the delivery and set-up of the Opal’s House computer lab. Windows 2000 installation is complete for all of the computers and all computers are network-ready. Today we will be making cables and ordering switches.
As we were determining cable-length needs, we realized that we were without a measurement that will be useful in our planning, specifically for installing the networked computer for the intake room. Would you or a designee be willing to take two important measurements for us? We need to know the total length of the house from front to back. We also need to know floor-to-ceiling height in the basement.
I trust all is well with you, and I look forward to your response.

Gee, I was beginning to feel left out, I had not heard from you this week! I know, you guys and gals are busy, but I still missed receiving at least one email. I will be happy to get the measurements for you, I probably won’t be able to get them until later this afternoon but will email the information to you as soon as I return. Thanks again, and have a wonderful afternoon. Please say hello to everyone for me.
Essie

Thanks for your note Essie! I’ll be sure to give you more updates. We have been working very hard, always keeping you & Opal’s House on the mind. ;0) I’ll relay your “hello” to the others.
I’ve attached recent communications w/Essie to keep you posted.
The meeting with Martin went well, yet we might be looking at some slight changes to our plans. In brief, networking the two non-internet computers might be desirable. We could provide those 2 computers with a network printer. We’ll need to secure printers this week. I’m thinking we’ll need 3 altogether. There are about 10 or so up for grabs, but I know other groups might need some and I don’t know which ones work. We’ll be making 9 cables total and I’ll be delighted to show you how it’s done. I calculated the measurements. You can review my figures once I redo the diagrams.
What are your lab plans this week? If you go on Wednesday, could you test some printers? I’ll be there Thursday at 3. Meanwhile, I’ll be redrafting the diagrams, getting in touch with Pass Security (not having much luck with this), and continuing dialogue w/Essie.
Response
Thank you for filling me in on the meeting with Martin and the new measurement. I plan on going to lab on Wednesday, and I can definitely test printers then. I was also thinking of going either Thursday morning or afternoon (whichever one is better for you, so I can the art of cable making), and Friday during class. I will probably also be able to go on Saturday, if necessary.

Sorry I am just getting the information to you, this weekend was real busy and crazy. I did go over and get the measurements today. They are:
First Floor, Front to Back =690 Inches (57 Feet, 6 Inches)
Basement, Top to Botton = 93 Inches ( 7 Feet, 9 Inches)
Please contact me with any concerns or questions.
Love,
Essie
