Directions
- Use the wood (or whichever material of your choosing) with hammer and nails to build out the physical enclosure
- Paint the interior of the enclosure with EMF-shielding paint which prevents all cell phone signal and wifi from entering the space.
- Introduce dim lighting into the enclosure. This can take the form of a dimmed reading lamp or even Christmas lights.
- Place a beanbag within the enclosure for patron comfort.
- Use sharpies and paper to create signage explaining no cell phones or wifi-enabled devices can work in the new Wifi Cold Spot.
