Infrastucture

Help Needed
Nicholas Adams

The usual characters have been hard at work. We need people to tape mud and sand drywall this week. Priming to follow. I will be around intermitently to get people started. Let me know here if you are avialable. Please keep this thread on topic.

I should have the taping and first coat of mud finished today. I will be at Hack Night this evening around 6:00 to get started on sanding and finish mud. Please come join me.

I have finish sanding out most of the walls. I have not had time to do the corners (including against the ceiling) The best way do do this is with the pointed end of the sanding sponge I have left there. The corner joints will also need so be smothed to the walls and ceilings.


I know there is a good enough attitude toward this type of work, however, myself and others have put a great deal of effort into this project and at least myself will be very dissaponted if care is not taken in finishing this project. I apreciate any help getting this done, however am willing to finish it if volunteers are unwilling to complete it to a standard comiserate with those who have donated a considerable amount of time to this point. Thank you all for your hard work.

It was brought to my attention that my above comments could be offensive. I would like to apologise to anyone impacted by them.


My intentions were more that drywall and paint work in a building that has existing slapdash work can lead to a laissez-faire approach to new work. I had put in a great deal of work and would have liked to have been able to see it through to the end in that fashion.


I never wish to gatekeep working on the space. If an absolute newbie worked their ass off and fell short I would be much happier than a more capable person mailing it in. I understand this is subjective for sure. That said thank you to those who chose to take this on. It looks great.


I just wanted to clarify my intentions, however, I am a firm believer that impact is more important than intent. So I would like to offer a sincere apology to anyone impacted.
