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.)

Discussion:
Common House guidelines should come back at next meeting ot make it to the cmty meeting following.

[[Rod]] is hoping we can have thanksgiving dinner in the common house.

The recent rain showed the low spots and [[Rod]] says they looked pretty good.

Monkey: elph needs to find legs for Ikea table tops.

Need to have an overhead sprayer for the dishwashing sink.

Monkey: amy will look at the sink specs and figure out what we need in the next two weeks.

Need to get a good spec on the kitchen. Do we do that? Let's bring it up at steering.
