Common House minutes: 2003-08-23

Minutes:

Monkey's from last meeting: Carpet color is natural in a berber style Two registers in the kids room? Don't know.

Agenda: Construction Report Chair Suggestion Marmo report Concrete report Color choices for rooms

Construction report: Floor has been poured. Left a spot for the concrete. Spot doesn't seem exactly right. Rod will get out there with the plans. HVAC now broken into three with the furnace in the kids room. Rod feels this is just wrong - but it is a done deal. Have the kids room people review use of closet with half taken out. Kirk and Rod argued about the $3000 kitchen allocation, Kirk was grouchy, said that the $3000 was out of his head for what a residential kitchen would cost. They've poured the bikesheds flooring.

Chair Suggestion: We've been talking about stackable, what about foldable? They can be hung on a rack and then wheeled out of the way. Stackable gets storage via height and stacking and wheeling is easier than huffing them. But the foldable can be put on a cart and wheeled as well. Foldable do have to be unfolded to use, whereas stackable come ready to go. Foldable is more cost-efficient. Folding chairs are going to break a lot sooner than the stackable.

Monkey elph to order a stackable sample Monkey rod to ask pam about comfort and longevity of museum folding chairs.

Marmoleum report: Trim is mossy green, body is orangy red, diamond is beige.

Concrete color ordered was Desert Sand (C11) after consulting with 9 people and having that the most popular choice. the lines are just scoring.

Color choices for rooms: We need the room honchos to submit colors from the Sherwin Williams color wheel (in Becky's cubby in the Sunward Common House.)
