Moveout Stakeout and Plant Roundup
Many of you know that Mongo Deco (another one of Tim’s projects that he doesn’t take enough credit for) has found new opportunity in our neighborhood through our restoration of the house-venue-formerly-known-as the Bad Idea.
The basic idea is that the house will be completely restored, renovated, renewed with recycled materials –An all-recycled house.
This week is a big week for the project, a process we call “Moveout Stakeout:” as students move out of dorms, apartments, houses, we patrol the streets in our trusty red truck looking for those discarded box fans and neglected folding chairs, rescuing them and hoping to give them new life.
In addition, today we added a sub procedure, “Plant Roundup,” which involves adoption of unwanted houseplants for our planned greenhouse.
If you or anyone you know is moving out, we just might need your loft (we need plywood!), your plants, whatever. If we think you have something or a bunch of things we could use, you can email me at girlnextdoor at bluishbarn dot com. Or call us if you see something good sitting out. We’re really into this.
And beyond this semester’s moveout, we will always be on the prowl for miscellaneous stuff, and might be looking for additional skilled workers to co-house with us, so check mongodeco.com for updates and talk to us if you are interested.
