Purchase of "Demo Set" appliances for the kitchen joinery team
by sara ferreira 15 Aug '19

15 Aug '19

Hi everyone, as you might know, we have been asked to provide one appliance of each kind to the joinery team so they know how to fit them in our new kitchens.Fortunately we are only needing to provide one of each cooktop, wall built oven or microwave and telescopic range hood. So nothing else is required to be purchased at this stage.I've made a list of each of the appliances that we would need to provide, and already had some people volunteering to purchase some of those appliances. I however need more volunteers, so emailing all of you. Just to be clear, I'm seeking people who have signed up to purchase a type of appliance to purchase their own appliance in advance.Those of us that will be purchasing these types of appliances (cooktop, built in oven, built in microwave, built in rangehood) outside the F&P list will have to provide them to the joinery team. So, I need volunteers for the purchasing of: | F&P telescopic powerpack HS60LXW4 $218 | Alex, Catherine, Warren, Jan, Tim & Pip, Anne & Ian, Susan & Kristin, Sara, Sander & Karen, Claire, James & Jess, Frances & Sandy, Liz, Pauline | | | F&P Built in Oven OB60SC5CEX1 $597 | | Sander & Karen, Alex, Catherine, Warren, Sue, Jan, Liz, Pauline, Rainer & Marianne, | | | | F&P gas cooktop CG604DX1 $720 | Claire, Dennis & Adelyn, Sara | | | F&P electric cooktop CE604CBX2 $448 | Pauline | | | F&P electric cooktop CE604DTB1 $720 | Donald & Miriam, Anne & Ian, Susan & Kristin, Gay | | | F&P Built in Microwave OM25BLCX1 $265 | Sue, Pauline, Dennis & Adelyn | | Could you reply to the UCOL shareholders email address, so I don't get people volunteering for the same thing?I am still to hear from Anne and Anthony at this stage.Kind regards, Sara

Appliances
by Gay Buckingham 08 Aug '19

08 Aug '19

Hi Sara - we missed you tonight, hope you were having fun. When you read tonight’s notes you’ll see topic 12 was about appliances - and that the joiners need to have one of each model of stove top, oven and (I think) range hood to be confidant about fitting them into joinery. It seemed the best way to do this was for us confirm our total order ( to be paid for prior to completion) but to assist joiners a few individuals would buy (and pay for) one sample of each now. My ordinary electric stovetop and oven are modest but I’d be happy to pay for them now if that is useful. Ditto my range hood, though I think it is the only one of that model, so they may or may not care about that. So let me know if you’d like me to buy mine now, Best, G Gay Buckingham +64 27 4544012

Hi High Street folk: while not all of you are keen on gardening, you might all like to know all the spaces that gardening can / will occur!

Fwd: Looking for speaker March 2020
by High Street Cohousing 03 Aug '19

03 Aug '19

An invitation (below) to contribute to a U3A discussion next year.Anyone interested? ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: High Street Cohousing Project <wordpress(a)highstreetcohousing.nz> Date: Sat, 3 Aug 2019, 8:38 AM Subject: Looking for speaker March 2020 To: <ucoldunedin(a)gmail.com> Site http://highstreetcohousing.nz Name Tree Cocks Email Treecocks1(a)yahoo.co.nz Subject Looking for speaker March 2020 Message Following a discussion with Rainer, I am looking for a speaker about Co-housing. I have been asked to coordinate a series for U3A (University of the 3rd Age). U3A members are mostly retired/semi-retired, but are interested in keeping their minds active on a wide range of topics: we never stop learning. The title I was given was \"The business of growing old\". However, as most members of U3A are probably feeling their age to a greater or lesser extent, I thought they would be more likely to sign up/attend if I called it \"Future Choices: Ironing Out the Wrinkles\"... Certainly Housing comes under the umbrella of Future Choices and I hope to have a session on various options: retirement village, co-housing, Abbeyfield and what supports are available to help folk stay in their own homes. Dates for the series of 6 x U3A talks next year are Tues afternoons 2.15-4.15pm, March 3 - April 7, 2020. Talks are in 2 halves of 40-45mins with break in between for cuppa etc. Good to leave >/= 5mins for questions in each half. I thought I would try and get 2 speakers to share each half. It is most likely, but not definite at this stage, that series will be held at the Otago Golf Club premises off Helensburgh Rd. (V. small chance venue may change.) I hope you are able to contribute and, if not, perhaps can suggest someone else in your field.

Site visit with Stephen Edge 1st August.
by Rainer Beneke 01 Aug '19

01 Aug '19

Hi all Maria and I met Stephen on site. It turns out the main reason for his Dunedin visit was to get a feel for the progress on our site. Two trucks were delivering the last shipment of the Sips and they were hoisted directly onto the top floors. He then asked how many workers are usually on site, as there were only a hand full in sight. I said, many would probably be in the common house (Maria was hoping I was right..). So we had a look and presto, two M-units were buzzing with workmen. He also asked what our questions were and was happy to hear that we would be back in touch after our meeting with our lawyers which is scheduled for Tuesday. Stephen left very satisfied after the 3/4 hour visit and gave us a big wave as he headed off. He thinks he will be back in October. Regards Rainer Please call me if you need an urgent reply.
