Paint

I already made this comment in another post but I figured I would post it since it's harder to keep track of comments on older posts.

"If anyone is getting paint tomorrow, Meredith and Sean measured out the walls again to double check how much we need to cover. The light gray/blue walls measure out to 85ft. The dark walls measure out to about 45ft (including the 17ft ZigZagZug wall)

If we put tape up at about 8ft that's 680 square feet of wall that we need to cover (assuming we're only painting over the light walls and not including the pillars)

If we include the drywall, the five regular size ones should about 440 sq ft and the large one is about 144 sq ft then that's 584 sq ft to cover (not including the wood if we paint it)

We also have drywall primer for the drywall and it will probably need it since it's porous and it will help the outer coat of paint from seeping in.

Sooo, bottom line, we have about 1264 sq ft. The square footage covered per gallon differs by paint but if it's 350 or so then we need 4 gallons (5 to be safe?)


Please feel free to double check my math, my brain isn't working too well at the moment anyhow."

    Also, Chris posted this for tomorrow (re-posting it to make sure people see it):

    "TUESDAY MORNING SHIFT:
    JOANNA JULIA JASMINE: Audra will be there around 8-8:30am to open up. Please be there to assist with completing the walls.She will inform you of the status of the walls and what needs to be completed before Ethan arrives.

    AUDRA: The small blocks will have two screws to anchor it to the 2x4 and then just one short screw from the Drywall to that block. They are in the sculpture studio in a box and a white bag. Try and complete attaching the blocks to the 2x4's and drywall with the group so that when ETHAN arrives and the next group, together can finish the siding, mud shit, and corner attachments.

    So, if everything goes to plan...we should be sanding and begin painting by TUES NIGHT. On that note, we need to get a sample of that grey wall and buy the gallons of paint. Maybe have someone in the morning shift have that task...once that person gets the money from Ethan?

    ALL DOORS, GARAGE DOORS, LIGHTS, A/C, etc. stays closed/OFF at all possible times! TOOLS must go back in the TOOL ROOM and out of site at the end of each night.

    Thanks,
    Chris"

    Regarding paint: a 5 gallon bucket is usually the same price (or cheaper) as 4 individual 1 gallon buckets.

    i thought we agreed yesterday that that was where the dj and food and drinks were going so we didn't need to paint it.
    ^ that is my vote.

    Yea I don't think we're painting the ZigZagZug wall (or any of the dark walls now) I just wanted to include the measurements in case something changed.

    We aren't painting any of the dark walls? wasn't that the point of getting paint besides retouching the white walls?

    We need to paint the pedestal tops too, which need to be the dark color since the cinder blocks are light gray-
