    Viver,

    Teresa will be out of town for 3 weeks. Make sure you know the address of Richmond Pro. You can get the info here or ask Madbad. Let him know what time you'll be there and he'll roll out the red carpet for you.

    You guys have a done very good job. Congratulations.

    When are you going to put up the black screen for cutting out the light from the court(s) behind?

    I'm think they're going to put the black curtains up starting today (so I've been told).

    Not try to discourage you. But with the real estate rate in NY metro area, a badminton designated gym is hardly come into reality. :(

    Some of the courts over there are kinda close to the wall and the poles in the middle. They should add some divider inside the washroom...coz when ppl open the door, can see the person taking a shower....Is that good or bad??? they should paint some lines for the ppll to park at the back...

    As discussed earlier, we're hand tied when it comes to the pillars. Parking lines will be drawn this week or early next–waiting for a dry day. Divider in washroom–a good suggestion.

    Well, the last time I was there the washroom door stopper was already installed. You won't be able to see others' buttt he! he! And dontkillme's butt won't be exposed to those girls too!!! I guess dontkillme will have to introduce his real name first b4 asking others to reveal their identity. My friend told me the black curtains are installed today. Can't wait to see how it look like.

    The idea of the black curtains is to take away the glare from the overhead lights from the court in front of you. They will be long enough to serve that purpose. It's not there to provide a backrop or partitioning between courts. We want the facility to have an open feel and not feel divided.

    I was told the purpose of the curtain is to block the lights for players facing the opposite courts. If it drop all the way down, how do you expect the air circulation to work?? Then dontkillme might complaint it is toooo hottttt next time. Dontkillme has so many complaints already. What's up with you, dude??? Are you an associate of the other clubs???

    experiences from "other" places, back to back courts aren't really a good idea...if no complaints, how can the place get better....
