PEDESTALS: Here's the deal

Cinder blocks have been nixed from the agenda! -- As of right now pedestals are being constructed out of the original 2x4 lumber, masonite, and MDF materials. Kyle & David figured out a pretty wicked means of construction/design. These pedestals should turn out better than the cinder blocks (with all their unresolved issues) and will definitely be better than the first pedestal we constructed Sunday. - As of Wednesday, the pedestals will need to be cleaned up with wood putty/glue, sanded, & painted; all of which should be taking place in the sculpture studio. Isenhour has class from 8am-11am MW, so don't expect to show up and invade his class time. Updates will come shortly!

Contruction Questions

WALLS

I understand the desire the cover up the exposed beams for the walls, but let's say fabric is bought, what's the proposed method for attachment? You'd have to buy fabric with the correct dimensions to stretch around the frames, or find some way to create attractive seam lines and/or drapery. - Drywall is scheduled to begin tomorrow morning so when would the fabric be attached, before or after? If after, the beams at the 4' height will be covered with drywall. Even with fabric pulled taught, at a width of 8' there will be sagging in the center if it isn't attached at some center point. Is the fabric being folded under and then attached? No cheap fabric is going to create a cut/tear line clean enough to be left exposed.

PEDESTALS

Okay - I'm for the lumber pedestals and the molding. The problem is having construction space for a long enough amount of time to finish construction and having an adequate amount of people willing to show up to work on them. Not everyone can drywall at the same time in the downtown space, so # of people shouldn't be an issue.
== If we go with the cinder blocks (correct me if I'm wrong) it's 10 blocks per pedestal. The dimensions of each block are 8x8x16, so two columns of cinder blocks will give us a 16x16 square display surface. Stack four blocks for 32"H and five for 40"H. 16x18" surfaces will create a two inch gap between blocks and 16x20" will create a 4" gap. The dimensions for pedestals could still be 18x18" and 20x20" if we're cool with both an overhand of the MDF and a gap between the blocks. Ten blocks per pedestal, with 12 pedestals gives a total of 120 blocks. 120 blocks at 1.25 each? Approximately $150. Say we get the $$ - how many people are actually willing to help transport 120 blocks to the downtown site AND haul them back after the show to return them? == Construction for drywall starts tomorrow and we're currently divided on the pedestal issue.

PAINT

We've been redesigning walls and pedestals after checking the budget to see our options, but if we're painting everything to match the wall color at the downtown space we need an actual quote on (5 gallons?) of custom color paint before we redesign anything else or reassign any portion of our budget.

Great News!

Theo talked to Mark Price this morning about money available to us as a class. We were entitled to $300 but he gave us approval for $500! This money has to be spent at Home Depot and all in one purchase, so we will need a thorough price/supply list first, so let's get on it. i would have posted this under the construction thread but i wanted to be sure everyone saw it.
by the way mike and i posted a proposal for wall layout & design. i didn't make it to scale it turns out so i'm reworking it now and will post in a little bit with images

Materials

I just posted a wanted ad to craigslist:
http://orlando.craigslist.org/wan/1082169975.html
If I happen to get any decent responses, I need people with trucks to volunteer to go and pick stuff up. If you are willing, please leave your name, email and phone number in the comments and I'll contact you. If we get multiples, I'll spread out the requests so that one person doesn't have to do all the pickups. Also, if you can think of anything else that people might be willing to donate let me know and I'll add it to the list. I think we're good on tools, and I figured we could probably find enough nails/screws between us. Paint, I'm not sure about, but I think we'd want our built walls to match colors with the building's walls right? So we need a sample of that paint color for when we go out to buy the rest of what we need. Also, Theo let me know how much we can get from UCF and how to go about getting it.
