Finishing off the Control Room

What do you do when you have a roll of about 80m of Purple Satin, and about 30m of Black T shirt material?

You line your Control Room or Obs to keep the dust out and make it darker

I spent today lining the Control Room in Purple Satin and Black material.
There is also sheets of styrofoam behind the material to keep the heat from the sun out

Ken, the guys are spot on, this IS starting to look VERY '70's. Disco lights, Hogan's Heroes. Maybe as an added touch you need a mannequin dressed as a disco tragic on the chair totally out of it, a stub of a cigarette still wafting smoke to the ceiling...... photos of the beegees on wall, floor (especially floor!) etc. At least you would have solitude and no one would disturb you, apart from the odd clinician )

I think anyone who has 80M of purple satin just lying about has a far more interesting past than the rest of us put together. Looks good Ken!

Any insulation up your way will help the extremities freezing. Can't wait to see it all in real life!
