Spring community week

Summary:

Hi everyfaerie this is Pingouin aka Boyfailure Deluxe aka Boysuccess Deluxe and this is the first entry in what I hope is a long and neverending love letter to the other facilitators and everybody in the community!

Spring community week happened. Lots of things got done! Maybe too many things got done, one could argue.

What we did

Move tiles to the French Ambassy

Things to keep in mind for the following gatherings

WATER: the process to install the new system is still going on. We are still using the old broken pump which is finicky. When it works, the recommended procedure is to first make sure tanks have water (switch in tje toilet area, make sure to turn off once tanks are filled as there is no automatic shut down) then turn on the switch of the pump in the toolbarn, let it run for 15 minutes (design a faerie and set a timer) to fill up the pipes in the house, then fill bidons at the dish dance sink. That's where the water flows easiest due to gravity. It goes through the uv filter and is safe to drink.
We cleared the wall behind the breakfast barn / friendship room where a lot of tiles used to be. That's where the new water system is going to be installed. Please keep it clear!

Things we learned

We rented a van at Leclerc. Last time we used Perney location. Leclerc seems both cheaper and easier (and there are no ramps to throw away)

Things that got postponed

Getting the lawnmower
Setting the bell tents. The

ALL PROJECTS ARE REAL PROJECT

Other notes: stuff we noted a

area

stone path:

Accompli: Appris : We used the stone from another project and Pour la suite: Currently only one wheeled wheelbarrow can go over it Some stones are not fully sealed and could use some more work Keep expending it

tiny dam

accompli: Appris : Pour la suite:

tilenado

Moved tiles into the french ambassy so that they may be used to cover the roof of the french ambassy and the sauna.

We only kept accompli: Appris : Pour la suite:

sauna

Sauna was cleaned out to prepare it for a lifting. Tarp was put to protect the beams. Todo: do wall again arasée to put down the chevron manquant Replace the lattes à tuile. Secure the other chevrons. Put down the tiles Get a new poêle Needs community decision on how ut's going to be laid out, what we buy etc.

water

We dug out a flat area behind the tool barn to store the two tanks of water that were in the bath area. Todo: connect the 2 newly moved tanks to the others that are on the up right. Change the pump that was broken. We removed all the tiles near the wall to make room for the new water system, don't put anything else here. Protéger lz système pour l'hiver Put all the tanks on the platform. We're still using the old system and Beate is going to try to install it. UV filter will be in the cellar. We can turn on the pump and it fills up the pipe and through gravitation it flows the best at the dish dance tap.

wood

We had a trash run to take away a lot of the old wood stored on the right of the toolbarn. It is the old circus room floor and it was preventing access to the good construction wood behind Leclerc is the easiest for location. Last time we used perney location. There's a pile of wood near the bath area that needs to be cut down.

We didn't find anyone that felt comfortable sharpening the chainsaw. We moved the pine wood near the toilets in the sissy opera.

Toilets

Toilets are connected to septic tank. Second toilets will be put down and ventilated. Needs education on flattening the poop pile. The brush has been put in a bucket with water, it should be filled with a solution of white vinegar. Just screw something against the wall of the toilet so that the toilet seat will always fall if there isn't a faerie pooping.

Smoke and Gaz detectors:

Smoke detectors have been installed in the breakfast barn. The salesman at E Lecrec Lure misled us into believing that monoxide carbon detectors will detect gaz leaks, which is not true but we bought one that can be found in the battery drawer. Gaz detector still seems like a good idea but a reliable product need to be bought elsewhere.

Dish Dance Area

Tarp has been put back up (also in the smoking zone btw). The previous station dismantled (it was very damaged by the rain) and the area below the stairs cleaned up so the artwork can be appreciated fully . A new dish station is now built under the tarp.

ok

There is some more signalisation to show the path to the lake. A rope has been installed to make climbing up to the accessible Check if the Curtains radical rest. Some strings have been hidden and will be used to make curtains at archiffoning. Laundry: more ropes have ben bought. They are in the circus room.

Washing machine: needs a discussion where to put it. We would like to reuse the small pump to have a second water system only for the washing machine so that it doesn't use drinkable water Weeding the brambles, needs more weeding. Storing the food.

Beltane things to do:

Débroussaillage in the prairie. Need to get the lawnmower.

suggestions:

Deity for the cleaning Reflection on not bringing cshoes inside : proposition to have a pulley system to take up the dish dance stuff to avoid walking in and out.
