Lease Update: waiting to hear back from F&L about insurance questions.....Is this different if you are member vs non-member renting. As member, are the current renters already be covered? We went back and forth, pros and cons as we saw it....but we really need this to be answered by F&L.


Kitchen Update: Keith has started putting in new sink, including garbage disposal. YEA!!!!! Meal cmtte folks having some commercial kitchen expert come in and review the flow. They were recommending formica, but we are feeling like we need to go with exactly spec'd butcher block till we get the CofO.

Jeff got the coat hooks up - thanks!

Mailbox update: Doors and Drawers came to get the parcel box. Current understanding is that they will build it, Jeff will install it.

Hot tub: Eric says it's ready, he can't honcho it. Ground has to be cleared and leveled. On some kind a stone. Couldn't we just put it in place right now, and then move it when we need to level it. Today would be good if we have the people during work day.


[[Meals]] bulletin board. Melisa got one, needs to be hung up. We chose spot between the offices. Jeff will hang it up.

Exercise room update: Becky got most of the stuff cleared out during the week, just a little bit left.
Guff Stuff: Please don't just leave junk in the common house. We found 2 big boxes of 'guff stuff' that someone dropped over before painting began, and it got buried in the exercise room. If you have free stuff, first try email. If you do bring it to the CH, please label it with your name, and dispose of it if no one has taken it within 48 hrs.

Art wall vs Cork strips for main wall in dining room. Reasoning behind cork strips is that during meetings, it would be nice to have the cork strips so could easily hang up bulletin sheets. Pointed out that we don't really use that wall during meetings because we've changed the orientation. Lots of discussion. Cork would be nice, but art would be better. Decision: part of wall between thermostat and south east corner can have cork strips. We are going to hold off purchasing them until there is a need. Rest of wall can be for art. MONKEY: [[Rod]] will talk with Gail, we think she wanted to honcho this.
