PSS - As far as paint, it's sometimes easier to get forgiveness than permission :wink: Nothing too wild, maybe some kind of a yellow/brown faux finish. You could alway paint white Kilz over it before you move out Hey look, mister. We serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast, and we don't need any characters around to give the joint "atmosphere". Is that clear? [ Edited by: MadDogMike 2011-07-12 19:33 ]
