Drywall + room paint

New drywall in Evan's office and the nursery, then painting both rooms. William is doing the drywall and the painting.

Where we are: William is doing the drywall and painting in Evan's office and the nursery for $1,000 labor total. The $200 deposit was paid 11/3 in cash ($100 from selling the church's old Peavey board, $100 fronted by Micheal, who still needs reimbursing). The remaining $800 is due at completion, by check written to his wife's name, which we still need to get. Materials are in the Lowe's cart (about $1,039) waiting on checkout. The nursery will likely just match the color already being used around the building, but Evan gets to pick his own color for his office.

⚠ Urgent

Reimburse Micheal $100 — he fronted it for William's deposit.
Need a paint color from Evan for his office ASAP so William can paint after the drywall.
Still need William's wife's name for the $800 final check.
