Clean up and out EVERYTHING in the shop area, starting with the
rafters and working down. Take apart the light fixtures, the boxes
for the building wiring, everywhere.

My plan has solidified.

I would do the following.

0. Put on eye protection.
1. Kill all power to the building.
2. For every hanging connector:
- Get a ladder under it and climb it
- Open up the connector
- Clean with a bristle brush
- Close it
- Raise it up by at least 2 feet, forming a loop

I figure, if I need to ever hook up a machine to a hanging connector,
I can always get a ladder in place, it will not be very frequent.


How about a couple screen door springs, instead of tying them in a
loop? Then all you need is a hook on a pole to pull them down to where
you can use them.
