Important ! - Co Housing Tiles & variations to Confirm
by Juan Puricelli 11 May '20

11 May '20

Hi Tim & Co Housers !! , *Tim: Very important *if you can confirm my *assumption taken (see below)* from drawings, also because there has been some changes/variations I might not be totally aware of or not having the latest drawing - something like the Shower in lieu of Bath for D1 (Anna & Anthon) . *To all Cohousers !!* ( may be Mike & Ros exempt) Most units will need tiles, either a single strip of splashback. Tim can explain this later. !!You can go and buy at your leisure or do with the group, your choice. I think in this case and at this point where SW is hurrying us up - & given this current situation of coronavirus and perhaps short of supply from China, Italy, Europe - there may not be a lot savings on buying it in bulk so for those who know what they want they can start looking at the "sales. I have made up a list on our shared spreadsheets , but I will update it *tonight !! and will include wall & skirtings* *Summary of who needs what * *Floor Tiles . * - *All D units ; M3 ; M1 ( I think) & A6 * Wet floor showers : A6 & D1 ; Tim Could you please confirm the floor detail? I think you specified "Marmox" ? will it need to be raised ? *Wall tiles (incl. splashbacks & skirtings) * *- All units need wall tiles !!* ( Excepet Mike & Roz I think) Note, this it might only be 1 tile behind the wash hand basin - TIm please confirm A1-A5 = WHBasin Splashbacks only , 200x700mm (guess) x 2 A6 = Wet Shower ; Bath ( splashback) & Basins H1-H3 = WHBasins x 2 C1-C6 = WHBasins + Skirtings ( but I think is wrong or not required) D1= Wet shower + WHBasin x 2 + skirtings D2-D6 = Baths ( I believe it should be better to make these walls up to ceiling) + WHbasins x 2 + skirtings. Remember I will update quantities on the spreadsheet ( see link below) tonight: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MUVuwH00hzQfu7v_MPmA9qnZVesmlP7cMie… And will send some examples of simple choices also ( and hopefully tonight ) and will chat with Tile Centre tomorrow and possibly 1 other supplier.

Fwd: Māori name for High Street Co-Housing
by Donald Shand 08 May '20

08 May '20

Morena UCOL whanau. See Waiariki's reply to our request. Ka kite. Donald ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Waiariki Parata-Taiapa <waiariki(a)puketeraki.nz> Date: Fri, Apr 24, 2020 at 9:07 AM Subject: Re: Māori name for High Street Co-Housing To: Donald Shand <donaldshand18(a)gmail.com> Kia ora Donald, Thank you very much for your email, i really appreciate the thought. Its amazing how fast things move and not long now until this co-housing vision opens its arms to families. I have forwarded the email to some of our other members to discuss a name and hopefully by mid/ late next week we will have a name and whakapapa to the name. Is that okay? Appreciate the involvenment in this kaupapa, kā mihi. Nā Waiariki *From: *Donald Shand <donaldshand18(a)gmail.com> *Date: *Tuesday, 21 April 2020 at 10:49 AM *To: *Waiariki Parata-Taiapa <waiariki(a)puketeraki.nz> *Subject: *Māori name for High Street Co-Housing Tēnā koe Waiariki. Kei te pēhea koe? I trust that you and your whanau are in good health and have settled into your own new normal under lockdown conditions. I imagine this will mean loss of contact with some whanau and no fishing and surfing for you! Miriam and I took the decision a week ahead of the announcement to place ourselves in isolation and have not been off our property except for a flu jab last Wednesday and we are now well attuned to our home-based life. I contact you on behalf of our Co-housing Otepoti whanau who are mindful of the initial decision by Ngāi Tahu Property to sell the former High Street School site to Urban Co-Housing Otepoti Limited for the development of our co-housing site. We also recognise your more recent participation in November 2018 when you generously gave your time and blessed our project prior to construction starting. Since that time the High Street, Alva Street and common house blocks have been substantially completed and once site works recommence the fitting out and final ground works will complete the build. We are hope to be finished late 2020. We again seek the guidance from Kāi Tahu through Kāti Huirapa regarding the possibility of a gift of a Māori name for our community and include here our kaupapa as an initial guide. *Our vision is to create an urban cohousing neighbourhood, which promotes social and environmental sustainability, based on respect and shared responsibilities.Through robust eco-design and layout establish a cohesive community, which fosters wellbeing, diversity and the right use of resources.Develop and foster a thriving living environment, which uses clear communication, decision-making and conflict resolution guidelines that promote tolerance, safety, respect and co-operation.* With the above in mind we would very much appreciate your thoughts on our request. Ngā mihi nui. Donald Shand (for UCOL)

23 April notes attached - at least I think these are correct now.
by Jan Burch 26 Apr '20

26 Apr '20

Hey all you cool cats and kittens Attached are what I think are the final notes from the 23 April meeting. However I know that some of you have not read the draft ones because only two people emailed with corrections .... and they weren't the people whose names I had incorrect. I feel I should probably give you a bit more time to get back to me with corrections (given that in the past it has taken me a week just to get the draft notes to you) but I'm trying to tick off as much as possible from my list so that I can get my American Culture Fix for the next week. So, unless I get a big outcry, here are the final notes from 23 April. Keep smiling. :-) Jan

Meeting notes from 9 Apr attached
by Jan Burch 17 Apr '20

17 Apr '20

My thanks to all those who were able to brighten my week by making the informal meeting last night. Always so good to get together and hear what people are up to. Attached is the final version of the notes from last week's real meeting. Donald and I are chair/notes again for our meeting next week on 23 April so please send any agenda items in to either of us. Stay safe and smiling. See you via Zoom next Thursday 7.30pm https://otago.zoom.us/j/9016259016?pwd=ZGZQRnM2L2tsai90eENKRExQUEtJQT09 ID: 9016 25 9016 password: 25 25 25 *A final note on finials…..* Marianne had also understood that one association with Finials was to keep witches out, but Rainer tells us that in Germany, they are vital in protecting houses from fork lightning, which they get a lot of, as opposed to sheet lightning which is more common here. Each house has a metal rod extending over the roof line, which connects down into the earth, to neutralize the otherwise high risk of fire!
