Installing carpet in the meeting room TOIORA
by Maria Callau 29 Mar '21

29 Mar '21

Hi TOIORA fans, The carpet layer has done a great job in our main common area and lounge in the common house. Thanks to Frances for organising this. He is now getting ready to finish the job and needs to install the carpet in the meeting room. He can work in the area on Friday 2/April. The meeting room is full of things, so *we need volunteers to move these things out of the meeting room into the main common area. * So if we want him to do the work, *we need to move the things over the next three days*. Maybe we can do this mid/late afternoon? If you are able to help, can you get back to me asap so we can see how many people are available and start coordinating the work and get back to the carpet layer person. Gay was going to coordinate with the cleaners. Thanks for doing that! Gay: Did you talk with them today? I suspect we would need to do the cleaning in two stage as we move things around? Thoughts? Thanks, Maria Kind Regards, *Maria Callau* 0211847490 *SUR *Architecture Limited www.sur-architecture.com

rainer's sign idea
by Roz Wilson 29 Mar '21

It has been suggested this display a phone number. Could we have a cheap pay as you go mobile so someone could carry it at all times? Would be helpful if someone arrived and needed to know where to go or there was a delivery or someone needed help and would save standing out on the lawn yelling! Regds roz

Ta dah! The Toiora High Street Cohousing Agreement
by Warren Hurley 26 Mar '21

26 Mar '21

Hi Cohousers, As per last night's minute here is our Cohousing Agreement in its initial working stance. Please each print and bring a copy to the next meeting; find someone from another household to be your witness; and sign the Agreement (page 7) and the Child Protection Policy (page 11). All the signed Agreements need to be stored somewhere - someone from the Finance & Administration Work Group will perhaps volunteer . . .? That same person might also be the holder of the editable document in Word format. Thank you everyone for ALL your contributions along this journey. And a special thanks to those who emailed their comments on grammar, consistency and ways to find a middle ground. While I may have been the collator, it truly was a community effort. To quote Robin Allison: "Beginnings are important; and staying the distance through all the challenges and obstacles is vital to achieve change." See you at the next meeting. Bring a pen. Warren

Morena to you all - attached please find the draft notes from our meeting last night in Alex's unit on the grounds of Toiora. It feels wonderful to be this close to moving into our project! Please read these notes and let me know what I missed: I have inserted a couple of question marks in there for this reason. At this point, we plan to meet again on the usual schedule, at least till settlement. Ie there will be a meeting on Thurs 1st April, presumably on site. Best wishes meantime, Marianne Marianne Quinn Level 3, 115 Stuart Street, Dunedin P.O. Box 20, Dunedin 9054 ph +6434773115 or 0211612050

Firewood
by Anna Maxwell 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

Hi all As a member of the common house group and keen to have a cosy room I've done a bit of googling about firewood. Looks like around $1300 for 10 cubic metres. Gum (per m3) Macrocarpa Other Timber direct Abbotsford Oregon $120 Burnable now City firewood Old Brighton Rd $135 per m3 $125 Hot mix poplar and gum $110m3 Old man pine $110 Claims very dry Quality firewood Kaikorai Valley Rd $135 $135 Old man pine $120 Firewood Dunedin Ravensbourne $120 $120 Old man pine $195 A review claims wood was wet All deliver free. It may take more than one load for the amount we need. Dryness is really important. From a quick look at our burner manual I think it recommends soft wood have a year of seasoning, hard wood 2 years. City Firewood seems to emphasise that its wood is well seasoned. If anyone can endorse any of these suppliers or has any other favourite suppliers that would be great. The partly covered concrete path behind the common room looks fine for storage - with a tarpaulin. Anna

updated agenda for tonight
by mariannequinn＠xtra.co.nz 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

Morena team: see updated Agenda. There is some discussion as to where the meeting will be - Common house, which might be cold, or Jan's Unit, which won't be! - so come prepared to 'pick up your chair and walk' if that's decided at the time. Plenty of chairs from the job lot sourced from the Uni last week: these are currently stored in the Common house kitchen area. I understand that we can't guarantee a Zoom connection but are still working on this. And meantime, that drizzle is working its magic on the newly sewn lawn!
