Walls Must Come Down

Early this morning I met a few guys at the church with the purpose of destroying a wall that separated the youth room I taught lessons in and the room the youth played in (this makes the second church I've done that at).  We ripped into the wall and it only took us maybe 30-45 minutes to have completely down.  It would have been faster if it wasn't for some screws that didn't want to come out without taking the ceiling down with them.  But with patients, we got them removed.  Then we removed chalk boards (do people still use those?).  

All in all it was a 4 hour project, but there's more to be done.  

On Monday I plan on framing up the ceiling space of where the wall was to make it look nice, putting in a carpet bar (for where the carpet goes to tile), and then filling in all of the holes in the walls (and there are a lot of them).  

Then on Tuesday I'll (and a few who said they wanted to help) be sanding all of the holes and then priming the walls.  Not sure of when they were last painted, but from what they look like I would assume it hasn't been since the church was built.

In the very near future I'll be painting the room to make it more lively.  I asked Sarah what she thought I should paint and she said she really liked a design I did for a bible study (a 7 weeks study I put together).  I do seem to see the grunge floral look everywhere so I might end up going that way. . .any suggestions?

If you don't know what "grunge floral" is, here's a few pictures with the concept.
