Re: [Ucol-shareholders] Aotea installing sounders in High St block bedrooms - Wednesday 28 from 8am
by High St Cohousing 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

I will only be available to open the doors, I am not coordinating what they do (I trust they know what they are doing...). I can mention that to them when I give them the keys but unsure what they plan to do and how long it will take. The sound is less of a problem in the common house and/or in Alva units/M units if somebody can offer a space for the teleconference at 11:30... ??

Aotea installing sounders in High St block bedrooms - Wednesday 28 from 8am
by High St Cohousing 26 Apr '21

26 Apr '21

Hi all, *Aotea will be nstalling sounders in all bedrooms (HIGH ST BLOCK) tomorrow Wednesday 28 from 8am* Following last week's alarm test results, Aotea concluded that the levels of sound in bedrooms are not acceptable (!!!). In order for the council to accept the system, Aotea needs to install new sounders in all bedrooms (High block). The work will be done tomorrow Wednesday 28 from 8am. I will give them access to all units. Please ensure that your bedroom is open and ready for them to do the work. And don't forget to cover your ears if you are on site as they will be doing some more testing... Hoping this solves the last hurdle... enabling us to get code of compliance and settlement... What a journey! Thanks, Maria -- *Maria Callau* *TOIORA* High Street Cohousing UCOL Member and Project Coordinator 0211847490

Toiora Grounds....
by Miriam Frances 26 Apr '21

26 Apr '21

Saturday’s Landscape Meeting Frances, Gay, Miriam, Ngaire, Min, Anna, Kristin, Donald, Pip, Sara A loose plan following Saturday’s discussions has been placed on the whiteboard in the common room. Maria’s original form is on the back. If anyone would enjoy drawing a smarter version, please feel free. We walked the site together and talked about placement, agreeing that there is plenty of land and the plan is a work in progress. Some are thinking that access to lawn for children ought to be easy and that due care be taken about what people look out on. Placement of picnic tables, seating areas, nooks, barbeques, trampoline etc. to be decided Peace Garden discussed. Playground discussed. General agreement that current area marked as vegetable garden does not get full winter sun, however, it can be planted with this in mind and need not contain only vegetables. Public entrance areas on Montpellier and Alva seen as important statement areas. Next steps: Agree to the spirit of the plan. Suggest Working Bee next weekend for spreading topsoil and constructing compost bins. Peace garden…small group to form Playground…small group to form….Maria and Liz may have ideas to contribute. Next Meeting…Budget to be discussed. Donald and Miriam

a small job to add to tomorrows working bee?
by Jeffrey Robinson 23 Apr '21

23 Apr '21

Thanks to everyone who stacked up the firewood delivered this morning. There was a pile of dry oak logs by the common-house door, collected by Sander, Jan, Rick , Rainer and myself several weeks ago. I finished chainsawing that up today (sorry about the noise) and it could be stacked with the newly delivered wood tomorrow. There are some large 'rounds' or 'cheeses' from the logs that will need to be split before use if anyone feels like some extra exercise (and has an axe/ block splitter). The remaining upright log is the chopping block. The sawdust could go into the garden. Jeffrey

Booking of Small Excavator
by Tim Ross 22 Apr '21

22 Apr '21

Hi All, As discussed at the group meeting a few weeks back we agreed to hire a small electric digger with auger bits to dig the fence post holes for the patio fences and holes for the pergolas. The timber for the fences and pergolas is arriving shortly and the plan is to use the sleepers that we already have for most of the the fence posts. We also have a concrete mixer though this needs to be assembled. So I think now is the time to organise the hire of the digger. If no one has any objections I plan to book this to arrive this weekend. We will have it for 10 days. I am hoping we can dig all the holes we need plus use it to spread the top soil in the agricultural area. If we can get it around to the Montpellier Street side we could even use it the to do some of the cleaning up we need to do on that side. Cheers, Tim. -- *Tim Ross* Director BArch, ANZIA Registered Architect Certified Passivhaus Designer Architype Ltd.
