** We want a strip of magnetic blackboard paint around the walls, broken by a neutral colour (TBC) at the top and bottom. This needs to be lighter than the current blackhole scheme. | ** We want a strip of magnetic blackboard paint around the walls, broken by a neutral colour (TBC) at the top and bottom.

**** I am actually shocked at the lack of witty or erudite comments or penises on the walls of the toilets after over a YEAR of our occupation of the building... [[User:Akki14|Akki14]] ([[User talk:Akki14|talk]]) 21:36, 16 September 2014 (UTC) | |||

*** Paintable as-is. There is flecked paint on the walls but we can't do much with that. [[User:Russ|Russ]] ([[User talk:Russ|talk]]) 17:10, 16 October 2013 (UTC) | *** Paintable as-is.

** Estimated amount of time by someone competent : 2 days per toilet? More? | |||
** Estimated amount of time by us amateurs without proper tools: Forever +1 day? What's the worse case scenario? Can we semi-train a small fleet of monkeys to work on it? Taking one toilet out of service for an extended amount of time isn't impossible if we need to pace ourselves. | |||

** What do we need to do close up around the base of the toilets? ATM they're weird manky wood iirc :S [[User:Akki14|Akki14]] ([[User talk:Akki14|talk]]) 21:36, 16 September 2014 (UTC) | |||

*** We won't be able to tell for sure until we rip the vinyl up, but it seems unlikely it'll need levelling compound. Tools needed: a trowel, a bucket, and some way of cutting tiles (If we can get hold of an electric diamond tile cutter, this step will be a lot easier).
