Moving into Load of Fun Space

From Opening the Door to the First Workshop

Prepping the Space

• Remove wallpaper
  • Landlord hitch (already. . . congratulations!)Steve 02:26, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
• Remove curtains and felt (carefully, if Sherwin wants these back)
  • We must keep the curtains until suitable replacement window covering / obscuring can be obtained or it's agreed by the whole membership that we want everything to be seen all the time. Abachman 15:51, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
  • I meant the black curtains and felt on the walls, not the curtains over the windows takshakus 21:01, 5 August 2009

Furniture

• Survey what we have on hand for tables. Sawhorses with 4x8 plywood sheet makes a big table for about $60 in materials.
• Survey what we have on hand for chairs. Are those chairs that were in the space before us sticking around?
  • No. They belong to On the Road (who's still in the LoF building) and should be out by August 20th or so. Abachman 22:50, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
  • Are they nice enough to make an offer? Perhaps On the Road doesn't need/want them anymore and we could do them a favor.Mehuman
  • We could get them "as cheap as" $30 apiece, in bulk, from Sam's (i.e., they're not cheap-o chairs). If you'd like to contact OtR and make an offer though, go for it. They asked if we would be willing to store them for three weeks (I think it was three, might've been two), but didn't seem interested in selling or giving them to us since they're upgrading their space, not moving out or on.
