Best of both worlds. <br>

<br>
I personally really think we should cover those bloody skylights. I'm<br>
pretty much on Team FuckNaturalLightLet'sBeWarm and I'll stand on a<br>
ladder to prove it. What CAN we use to cover the skylights? More<br>
curtains + staple guns? I'd even be down to drywall those bitches in,<br>
but we kind of have enough construction to do as it is, so maybe a<br>
temporary solution?<br>
<br>
Also, Rachel, I hereby poke you about the curtains. And if you poke<br>
me later I'll bring some heavy fabric. I have a couple huge, old<br>
curtains from my last apartment.<br>
