080 Chill Out bar progress

From: NebulaX [e-mail] Date: 2010-06-30 23:55:20 Title: Chill Out bar progress

I've been away from my blog activity, my netbook...er...fried. Meanwhile, i started again with the chill out. I got up decided to ignore the annoying warmth of our portuguese summer and put my hands to work again.

This time i decided to paint myself the walls. I was waiting for someone (more gifted than me) to paint the walls. But since nobody showed up interested in doing something i though about painting with plain color, perhaps with a dégradé or something to give more life to that level. The idea is to give color (looks much better now) and also to be prepared for somebody to draw something over it. So the chill out is more colorful and still has walls for someone to be creative! Also we have wayyyyy many goods thanks to I and her mom, and J's mom. 2 new couches and a lot of dishes, furniture, books, Vinil cds, uff! Etc... Yeah, moms are still the best even when you're squating a building. I'm also thinking about asking my mom some paintings she already has. She's an awesome artist, check out her tiny web gallery (http://manuelabarros.pt.vu/)

About the freeshop i'm still not sure what to do. A(IT) cleared everything and made a selection of good things that we should keep, and organized the IT area. Still, it looks poor and slovenly, specially compared to the new form of the chill out. I have a design for the freeshop in my head for a long time, the only problem is that i don't have the materials to make it. Let's see if we can bring something up.

I am so, so, so proud of our dry toilet!!! Thank you tori for your help and giving us the drive to do it, finally! It smells good, the floor is not wet anymore. Wonderful.

I also love and am proud of the solar system that J built. Although we need a better battery it's wonderful to be able to get energy without paying for it and without wasting the environment. Never though about living with solar energy, although i always though it was the better way to get energy.

So basically i am really happy to see the house going through the path we designed at first. Also happy to see everyone getting along, laughing, interacting with our CS's much more.

That's all folks
