The new place is just a few doors down from where we currently are and it has loads of potential but also needs loads of work. Most of the members have been pretty good about chipping in time and energy to get in there and help with the renos and a handful have been superstars shouldering the majority of work.
Unfortunately we can't afford any type of hardwood or laminate so industrial carpeting must go down but that goes in in a couple weeks time and soon after that we can begin moving everything over.
My first job was to paint over the ugly brown wallboard until a grant comes through and gives us money for drywall and proper gallery wallage! but in the meantime we'll make due. When I was in last time I scrubbed down the kitchen area and gave it a coat of fresh white paint.

Wow that is such a huge job! My cooperative moved to a new and better space but that was before I joined. But there were 8 of us who started a second coop (I quit after 6 mo since it was WAY too much) but moving everything into that space was so fun and such hard work. Good luck to you guys! :)
Best of luck at the new place...I hope it works out well for all of you...I'll admit, I am a skeptic thus far...
