Common house meeting a March 22nd 2014

Present: Sari, Jim, Lois, Elph
Minutes: Sari

TS matters:

TS wants to start having meals Tue or Thu nights here when there is no GO
meal. They would like to get a tour of the kitchen. Let's plan to do it
after one of their dinners at 7pm when lots of TSs will be here anyway.
Elph volunteered, yay Elph!

TS has their meeting on the first Monday of the month at our dinner time,
and the kids' room gets over-crowded with their childcare and our kids
there. It would be good if parents could keep their kids at the dinner
table a little longer and if one additional adult from GO would go into the
kids' room to help with childcare after with.


Sari preassigned ch jobs for next term. Elph will be our new convener, and
we have space for two new accounted members (one of which will not be
preassigned).

Sari sent an email about not leaving Guff to the ch. Sari and Helen will
tackle the guff to give the ch a clean start on this. Now it's a good time
to get yout non=guff out of the ch!

Mystery of the stool was still missing from the kitchen. Elph bought a new
one, and of course then the old one appeared.


Here is the summary of where the ch bathroom tiling job is:
We now have 3 quotes!
Tile 1 (John Kissler): 2000$ (includes a tile allowance of 4$ per sq ft)
Tile 2 (capital construction group): 2562$ (includes a tile allowance of 4$
per sq ft)
Sealed concrete (Faux Floors): 1875$ (decorative epoxy, which is what we
have at the entryway).

Sari emailed the committee with this info, and suggested that we hire Gary
from Faux Floors because sealed concrete the cheapest, it matches some of
the existing ch floors, and the person I talked with (Gary) was the most
professional of the people I saw about this. Also we have already done
business with them (that entryway). Some people agreed over email, none
disagreed.
Sari emailed him with no reply yet. Will call this week to get the job
going.

List of running maintenance items
- Hole in the dining room ceiling (Heather?)
