Beautification

We're going to clean things up a bit, so we are looking to identify areas that need minor repairs and a coat of paint. Please add to this list. Note: this list is not in order of priority, that will be decided when the list feels more complete.

a board memeber speaks:

Okay, may I speak frankly for a moment? Why is FG so... well....uh... messy these days? The last two times I've been there on a Saturday, the receiving area could not even be entered. Once there, even if the Rev. hadn't flaked, I realized there was no way I would have actually been able to film there under those circumstances. Not even enough open space to set up a tripod! (Also, I brought a wealthy individual on a tour a few Saturdays back, and he had many positive comments, but also said to me, "I think we should get a group in here and clean this place up!") Why are things so much messier than they used to be? Are we being inundated with gizmos? Do we not have enough bodies to process it so it just piles and piles up in the receiving area? Why are there piles of dirt and stuff? Do we have brooms and mops? do they get used?

I would be happy to organize a cleaning party some weekend, but I worry that it's too cluttered to clean, we wouldn't be able to get at surfaces. What can we do?

The reason I bring this up is I would like to be able to capture something in addition to chaos on film. In the past, I was able to film pretty easily, but there was more open floor back then to walk on and through. Can someone clue me in? Suggest solutions?
