[dcw] Tearing down the wall

[Emily Schleiner]

Hey,

I confess that I like the amount of brick that we already have exposed but 
I'm not as excited about all of the space being brick, mainly because the 
brick has stains and the windows don't have glass.  I know Larry has the 
three fridge doors but we're not sure if they will work and there are more 
windows that are probably not in good condition on the other side.  If we 
take on too big of a renovation project this will probably delay us 
opening/using the space for a long while. :(

As for the floor, my thought is to do the simple solution and then if we 
have more $ later, then take on more renovation.  I had been thinking of 
getting a container of white paint from a recycle center and then just 
white-washing the wall that James uncovered for now -- and then 
concentrating on the floor and windows/wall that we already have exposed.  
(Maybe painting the frame a dark brown color that I picked up from the 
mistake shelf.)

Nicholas and I turned over some of the slat-board at the end of the room 
and hung up the projection screen yesterday.  Hope you guys can get in 
there soon to watch something on it, woot!

Does anyone mind if I go ahead and paint the south wall in the next few 
days?  This way we can still take things down if you don't like them . . . 
but in the mean time things will continue to get more functional looking?

Emily
