Another person for the induction workshop, but she will need to Skype in. Who can bring a computer with Skype to the induction workshop so we can connect up with Linda? Anne ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Linda Gilbert Art <Linda(a)lindagilbert.co.nz> Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2019, 10:46 PM Subject: Re: High Street Cohousing project To: High Street Cohousing <ucoldunedin(a)gmail.com> Kia ora Anne Thank you very much for your reply. I am in Wellington and unable to get away then so I’d need to skype in. I have some understanding of the concept but I’ll get the book you recommend out of the library to learn more. I’m interested in the others participating in the High Street Project. Are you able to tell me who they are?

We have begun the build, and expect to be moving into our new homes in the middle of 2020. Currently there is one 2/3 bedroom unit available (priced at $532,072) and another 1-bedroom unit (priced at $346,489) is likely to be available before the completion of the build. Prices for all High Street Cohousing units include the unit itself (unit-titled, built to Passivhaus standard) plus a share in the common land and common facilities on site. We have a 'stepping in process' for people who wish to buy into the High Street Cohousing neighbourhood, to help them to understand the distinctive cohousing nature of our project and to work through the financial commitments required. the first step in this process is to attend an induction workshop, and we will be holding the next one on Saturday 23 February, 2-4pm. If you are able to get to this, that would be great. We have had people Skype into a n induction workshop quite successfully, so that may be an option for you. An excellent introduction to what cohousing is about is to read "Creating Cohousing" by McCamant and Durrett, which is available at libraries. We recommend that anyone interested in getting involved reads this book. If you have further questions or would like to talk to someone about any of this, please email back or give me a contact phone number so that one of us can give you a ring. And if you are able to come to the induction workshop on Saturday week, let me know asap. Warm regards, Anne Thomson

Re: [Ucol-shareholders] M Units appliances URGENT

We have already filled out the spreadsheet. M2 does NOT want to bring its own appliances. We don't want a rangehood but have been told we have to have one. sam from architype said there are options that don't involve the ugly hood things (no use for tall husbands) or ones that fit under cupboards (cos we aren't having overhead cupboards) but are waiting to hear from tim about what might be available to us. when I last contacted him he was too embroiled in the soft spot to worry about rangehoods.

You can see the bones of the structure and the space that will be your homes! We have an important request from Stevenson and Williams and the Project Manager. We need your selection of appliances as the kitchen cabinets are starting to take shape soon. Sara, Rainer and Sander have been working on the spreadsheet with options for those buying Fisher and Pykel. Appliances selection for M1 have been supplied. Thank you. We understand that M2 and M3 would like to bring their own appliances (they will not be Fisher and Pykel). Now is the time to choose your other appliances. We need to send this information to SW through the Project Manager URGENTLY. You need to supply your selection of appliances for: Oven Stove Range hood (I understand that M2 will have no range hood), correct? Dishwasher. As you know, we had delays with the foundations so this resulted in more work done in the common house so the M units are leading the way. Please help us move forward by suppling the information requested asap. Thank you. Maria Attached photos of your units!

E AT-Lancet Commission Brief
by Alex King 04 Feb '19

04 Feb '19

An interesting report about how our current food industry is environmentally unsustainable and unhealthy. They recommend eating more fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes and whole grains, and less red meat. (Aim to consume at least 125 grams of dry beans, lentils, peas and other nuts or legumes per day. Aim to consume no more than 98 grams of red meat (pork, beef or lamb), 203 grams of poultry and 196 grams of fish per week.). I hope we can use this as the basis of our common meals. Thanks, Alex

Fwd: OPIA site visit
by High Street Cohousing 04 Feb '19

04 Feb '19

For Thursday's agenda: A request for a visit to the site. (see email below) This would need (1) agreement from Stevenson & Williams and (2) agreement from UCOL shareholders. Does anyone have experience of the OPIA annual bus trip? I presume that viewing from the road (with some explanation from one of us) might be an option without requiring access on to the site - if we wanted to do that.

appliances for M units
by Rainer Beneke 01 Feb '19

01 Feb '19

Hi all The remedial work may put us back 2 to 3 month in our time schedule for the new build. As the first shipment of the SIPs is due in mid Feb and the second in mid March, a temporary shelter (scaffold with shrink wrap?) may be build to store the panels. Meanwhile there has been a lot of progress in the common house and the common house units may be finished first…! Hence S&W is now asking for the appliance schedule for the M-units! They may start building the kitchen joinery for these units very soon. Once the appliances have been chosen, it is important to establish the cut-off date for ordering these. Sara might need to talk to F&P and we may need to buy these units earlier. To clarify, the clearances, ventilation requirements and cut-outs for the cabinets are different for each appliance model. For further clarification regarding the appliances please ask Sara and/or Tim. regards Rainer I check my emails once a day. Please call me if you need an urgent reply.
