Gaye has raised the matter of the name. I did try once before and still wouldn't want to see a maori name. apart from that can we please not include 'project' in the name? projects in some countries are basically social housing. We are so multi cultural I believe we need to be mindful of this. our daughter used to date a swiss guy, his cousin came to stay and was pretty and lovely, and named Regular. Hmmm.

Day light for common house
by Rainer Beneke 27 Feb '19

27 Feb '19

Hi all Can we put a window in the north of the dining room (when funds allow) rather than skylights or solartubes? I know there are meant to be gas cylinders for the common kitchen and there is a retaining wall to the side. But sun light would come in! Even if we put the window a bit higher. Or make some of the high windows in the west bigger. Just a thought, let’s not rush into skylights now. Regards Rainer I check my emails once a day. Please call me if you need an urgent reply.

Hi all, In preparation to our meeting tomorrow, please read the email below with information about cost to upgrade the roof of the common house (there is no indicative cost for providing extra natural light to our common area as we didn't ask for that yet). We'll probably have to make a decision at tomorrow's meeting so they can proceed asap.

Unit Numbering / re-roofing common house
by Rainer Beneke 26 Feb '19

26 Feb '19

Hi all first of my and Marianne’s apology for Thursday, we are both out of town. The subject UNIT NUMBERING is on the agenda (see notes from last week), hence I would like to add my opinion here. As I have said before, using 25 as the street address and numbers as the unit, e.g. 7-25 is confusing, does it it refer to street number 7 or 25? I am in favour of using letters for the units from A to Z (omitting I and L, as required by DCC), going clockwise, read from the common car park (inside, left to right, starting at M1). That would make M1, M3, M2 unit A, B, C; Alva 6 to Alva 1 unit D to J; and the High Street block starting from H3 to C1 unit K to Z. I imagine a sign at the Alva Street end of the High Street block being 25 K - Z (imagine 10-25 to 24-25), and the same at the Alva block. Using letters for the units also avoids getting a number 13… Counterclockwise would only make sense if read from the streets (outside, left to right, starting at C1), but not every unit has a street entrance! Ucol letterbox is obviously just number 25. RE-ROOFING. I am in favour of re-roofing the common house. The cost has to come out of contingency. The good news is that the common house has very 'good bones’ and that the builders have not found any other real issues during the work done so far. I personally imagined a whole lot of variations due to rot or other unforeseen issues. Happy discussing Rainer I check my emails once a day. Please call me if you need an urgent reply.

GROUND REMEDIATION SITE MEETING and ROOF
by Maria Callau 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

Hi all, GROUND REMEDIATION SITE MEETING We had a site meeting today to start the process of groundworks remediations. Builders/QS/Contractors and Geotech discussed their plan forward for the coming weeks. All going well, we should see a start on this around mid week. Anne has deliver a letter to neighbours notifying them of the work that will take place in the coming weeks (this was requested by DCC yesterday as part of our RC). Lets hope for good weather… ROOF On a different matter, the builders have highlighted a few concerns regarding the status of the ROOF of the existing building. They have already installed a new roof over the future kitchen and extended this to the eastern external wall. There are a few patches in the existing building (see image below). We had a look at it on site and have asked SW for an estimate to remove the skylights and replace the whole roof with a new roof. Skylights are no longer needed as the proposal is for covering under them. They create areas of potential problems in a near future with old flashings, internal gutters in some situations, etc. Stefan has asked SW to provide a quote for this. We should be prepared to discuss this and make a desision at our next meeting. It is really important to make a decision quickly as they are currently progressing fast in the existing building while waiting for the ground of the new to be ready for foundations.
