I've been thinking about the curtain. I'd like to be able to roll it up and out of the way when it isn't in use. So I thought of those pull-down screens that are in classrooms, for movie projections. I could have thick plastic or thin canvas sheet with a wooden dowel rod at the base. It wouldn't have the nice self-retracting feature of screens. I'd have to roll it up by hand, but that wouldn't take too long. The rolled up curtain could be rolled onto padded hanging hooks on the ceiling. The ceiling is unfinished floor joists for the floor above, and is about ten feet high, so the rolled up curtain could be completely out of the way.

Jackson Pollock used spreckles and drips. Worked for him. Maybe I can have two sidelines--selling a few finished razors, and a few finished dropcloths. But then, you can't shave with a dropcloth.
