	We can expand the number of outlets quite easily. Several more outlets can be patched into our existing 20amp line. We can also run a new line from sub panel 2, which is only about 30 feet from the space, for about $40. Expanding beyond 40 amps (2 20 amp lines from sub panel 2) will best be done by installing a new sub panel directly off the main power panel. Sherwin has already given us approval to run additional lines from sub panel 2 and install a new panel. The cost of a new panel will probably be around $200 - $400.

	For reference, Jon's MacBookPro draws about 0.3 amps charging and using 20% cpu; his 20inch LCD draws .7 amps; and his air conditioner unit draws 5 amps.

			We wired in 7 junction boxes on the west and north walls. Each box has four outlets and uses the following wiring scheme:
