Thanks for bringing your painting experience to the mix Jim!

Something to factor into our schedule is the FMoF event on Thursday
evening, which is scheduled to happen at 2169. The plan is to have
the West end of the space clear & clean by then. I'll be available
to help out Weds-eve & Thurs-day.

Also, with regards to the paint itself, there was some talk of just
throwing down a base coat of something that has a good ability to
'not let anything show through' (must be a technical term for that)
and maybe not anything else. A light off-white to brighten the space.
Depending on time constraints, (& maybe the cost of paint?) that could
be an option. Some (many?) of the walls will be covered with shelves &
other stuff. In those cases, the finesses of the paint job won't matter
so much. Other non-obscured walls can be painted at a later date.

Anyhow, those are just my thoughts + recollections of conversations
in the space as we were working this past week.

John
