[matilda] Re: heating (was)

[Amparo P Gutierrez]

There seems to be some problem here with responsibility, not yours! I 
mean, calor gas bottles (with their stoves) are not expensive, just 
heavy. A friend helped me with one earlier this month. We could ask at 
the second hand furniture shop on the corner about the prices? 
Responsibility 'coz apparently one concern is that persons may forget to 
switch them off!

Thanks for the good idea, Dougald: Insulation with curtains, or with 
sheets, or with carpets, mats, i mean perhaps there is *still* some 
materials available at the building that we could *nail* on the window 
frames, doorframes, etc. Could be done by two three persons in a single 
day (main gallery and cafe area upstairs). Ingredients: fabrics, nails, 
hammer, ladder. Have a look at the art studios upstairs.

Cheers folks
