Reservation book Let's have one. Sunward has a calendar on the counter. First come first serve. Conflicts worked out between folks. Then to the Common House Cmtee.

Question about reserving rooms for privacy. The only room that cannot be checked out for exclusive use is the children's room.

Only one calendar (to bind them all).

Monkey: Becky - Get a calendar and bring it to business meetings.

Construction Minutes: Elph, JD, kirk, ted, met for 2 hours. The guy doing the cabinets was there (chuck) had all the notes, understood, came with plans - very together! Went through all the rooms. All sounded good. In sitting room, standard kitchen cabinets will be used with simple maple doors below, open shelves above - will work perfectly. Faux maple insides instead of white. Trim will come into tile a bit. Chuck wants the tile done first, and he will work around it

Fireplace Discussion here: Laura will be doing the tile with Keith's help. So Laura will also need to put in the durock. In roughly 10 days, the tile needs to be completed.

Kitchen looks fairly easy. Removed the tile backsplash and will use standard counter backsplash. They will use a plywood core instead of particalboard for counter top to deal with moisture issues. Agreed to melamine will be on all edges for the shelves to prevent outgasing. Also added shelves in the pantry. Most shelves are adjustable, with heavy duty hardware.

Chuck pointed out that they 1/2 wall for the kids sink was not there. Asked Kirk how much it would cost to build, and haggled over how much credit we would get if we didn't put it in. There will be no 1/2 wall. there will be a freestanding cabinet for the sink.

They cut out a trench in floor because they forgot the put in the electric to freestanding counter for hot water. they are going to fix it.

Mailboxes - only changed slightly. Reduced the size of the mailboxes, with bank of 44 cubbies. Maintained height requiements so packages can go under and yet above the height of most toddlers.

Coatroom: They are doing just the hooks, including some child sized. We will do the benches.

Talked about air conditioning units not being the brand we spec'd. They will be sending us the cut sheets to make sure that they will be as quiet. Monkey: Elph to research bamboo that grows in this area for possible screen.

Painting:

Children's room will finalize next wednesday. Two colors of yellow look close. Keep separate. Use semigloss in bathrooms. Game room gusto to humble gold SW 6380 Cost of Phoenix doing painting estimated to be about $4500.

Fireplace Laura and Keith will take on the tiling. Timeline is in next 10 days. As soon as possible.

Timeline still looks like end of Feb.
