Yesterday I work on the closet on the first floor of Bauman some more. While working on it I realized that I needed some more mounting hardware so I went to some of the other closets to gather some the only thing I found was some vertical cable concealers. What I was really needing were horizontal one. I am making due with what I have but still have not finished this closet yet I expect it will be done next week.

On todays project I was to bring my drill. I place the battery on charge a couple days ago and when I checked it would not hold a charge. So before class yesterday I went to purchase a new battery and found out that you can buy a drill for almost the same amount. So today I brought out my new drill and John and I went to Bonner and Alumni House to mount the switches to the wall. The one in Alumni house went well it mounted on the right side wall out of the way. When we went to the Bonner house the only place to mount the switch was the upper part of the closet wall that was made of dry wall. We went to facilities to get sheet rock anchors and after attempting to install them I realized that they were not going to be secure. So we decided to mount the switch rack on the inner top door frame so the rack could be attached to wood and secure. Once it was mounted we finished the closet clean up and checked that both switches were in web help desk.

Today I went and cleaned up the data closet in the Armfield Press Box. It was not in bad shape and since not one was in there I was able to rout the cables very neatly. After that I started on a larger closet the one on the first floor of Bauman. I got a good start on it but I was unable to finish it today. I will start on it next week when I get back.

Today John and I cleaned and inventoried the data closet in the Regan-Brown Field House. Once that was complete I had some paper work from last week I needed to complete. Once that was done John and I went to The North Apartments to confirm some serial numbers that did not look correct then went to New Garden to inventory the switches in to web help desk from in there and replace on ethernet cable. The project is moving along well and hopefully we will have all of the data closets on campus cleaned.

Today John has been with me most of the day and we have visited several closets. I finally finished the closet on the 3rd floor of Frank. Then I went to Hendrix and cleaned that closet. At this point John joined me and we went to Dana and we found that closet under the building and cleaned it. Next we went to Hege Cox where the switch was mounted side ways to fit it in a closet that was only 6 inches deep. We were unable to improve that closet but we did get it inventoried. Next we went to the North Apartments the switches there were mounted on a piece of plywood sideways. We were unable to improve those closets but did inventory all of the switches in the six buildings. Once this was done we came back to Bauman and updated web help desk and share point.

Today Alex and John started out checking the closets to find out what supplies we need to complete this project. While they completed that I started at English Hall. That closet was not in bad shape and did not take long to complete. Once I completed that I moved to the South  Apartments. I started on Apartment 78 which was not in bad shape. Once I finished that one John met up with me and we worked on Apartment 79 and 80. After those were completed we went to the Community Center and  that closet did not need anything. At that point John had a couple more closets he needed to go and look at to see if and supplies are needed for them so I went to Frank 318 to finish work on that closet. Today we accomplished a lot. Most of it was due to the majority of the closets were not in that bad shape, except for Frank 318 which I am still working on.

Yesterday I had to come in a little later than normal due to my son's 1st grade picnic. Once I got in I went out to check on the closet in Archadale and check the wireless patch cables and confirm they were all yellow. They were so after that John and I went to start on Frank 1st and 3rd floor. We began on the first floor. we were able to get a good start on that closet but had to stop due to my class schedule.

Today I came in early at 9:00 to make up for coming in at 1:30 yesterday. Alex and I started on Frank 118. A couple hours later John got off of the help desk and came out to see what was needed. At that point Alex and John went to Binford to start on that closet which they completed. I finished Frank 118 and started on Frank 318. My plans are to start on the dorms next week due since the Eastern Music Festival kids are coming in on the 18th and right now they are unoccupied.

Today I am catching up on paper work from what I did on Thursday of last week. To start with John and I and later joined by Alex cleaned out the closet in Milner Hall. This one was not to bad it had several 3Com switches that needed to be removed since that dorm was now totally wireless. We traced down all of the cables from the switches to the patch panel and removed them first and followed by removing the switches. Once that was completed we moved on switch up level with the patch panel it was connected to and rerouted all of the cables. Unfortunately we did not have any extra cables channels that would hide the cables like in the other closets so they are exposed here. However it still looks neat. Once that was done we inventoried the equipment so it could b put in web help desk. We also went back to the library to take pictures of the APC for Merritt to determine if they had any errors or not. Then we went to Alumni Gym, Archdale, and Bryan Hall to inventory closets that had already been cleaned in the past.
