Fwd: [omni-finance] EBC roof fix quote & skylight quote

by Yardena Cohen

Sudoers, any objections to omni spending $12k now (plus $12k later) to fix our roof? Deal of the decade IMHO. Can we consent on this by tonight? Also, who's tonight's delegate? ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Yardena Cohen <yardenack(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Nov 18, 2021 at 2:32 PM Subject: Re: [omni-finance] EBC roof fix quote & skylight quote To: David Keenan <dkeenan44(a)gmail.com> Cc: consensus <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org>, building <building(a)… [View More]lists.omnicommons.org>, <finance(a)lists.omnicommons.org> <finance(a)lists.omnicommons.org> David I thought you were gonna tell me when you were meeting Mike at Omni! You promised me like 3 times! Boo. But regardless, thank you. I think Omni should jump at this opportunity. $12k for a 7-year guarantee on the whole roof, plus another $12k that we don't need to pay until refi? AND skylights? It's a no-brainer to me. It's a chunk of our current savings, and we'll need to be extra frugal after this, but 100% necessary. Hardest part may be finding 7 dry days in a row, and 3 volunteers to commit to being there 3 days in a row. I can to commit to being one of them - can 2 other people commit to that also?

That's not so much and so just speaking personally, I am not as concerned about the structural impacts of the weight of the additional layer as I would otherwise be, though others may be concerned (since it's also true we don't know how many layers of roof we presently have, as we have not yet cored the roof.) > > Skylight replacement quote: > > - $8.945.21 incl. donating his labor time (!) to Omni. > > - Needs 100% down to schedule as skylights would be custom-ordered. > > My thoughts: > > Mike seems incredibly nice. Both quotes are substantially lower than a typical roofing or skylight replacement quote.

potential diy fix macbook

by Juhlz VT

Hello! A friend referred me to Sudo to see if anybody could maybe help me out in fixing my laptop. It's a 2014 macbook pro, the battery had been fussy for a while, then I didn't use it for a couple months and it started getting slower with the mouse freaking out frequently. Then my friends cats knocked a small amount of water onto it which I cleaned up, and now it wont turn on. The charger also won't charge it. Hopefully it's just an issue with the battery, what do ya'll think? Thanks so much, Juhlz

El or Ellis set fires in the building

by Jake

Tuesday night around 10PM, two people came into Sudoroom while we were having "Hardware Hacking Tuesdays" and one of them said he had been there before, and he said his name was "El" or "Ellis". He was about 5'10" and had short black dreadlocks and no glasses. I don't remember his friend's name, but he left after not too long. El asked for help with setting up speakers, asked if he could use the computer for something, asked for various tools and seemed to be working on something like … [View More]hacking a piece of network gear that had been in the e-waste pile, which seemed normal enough for someone coming to hardware hack night. We helped with various requests but mostly he worked on it by himself. He had his phone connected to the speakers near the laser cutter, and a few times I had to ask him to turn down the music because it was making it harder for us to talk to each other, but it wasn't a big deal. He asked if he could smoke inside, which was one of several times the topic of fire came up. Apparently at some point he said "I like to set things on fire" but I didn't hear that. We told him that people don't smoke indoors and someone took him outside and showed him the side doors so he could smoke out there, and then he came back in. He went out and came back in a couple of times. Around 12:45 AM, I got up to go to the bathroom and when I got to the door to the hallway next to CCL's entrance, it was closed, so I opened it and he was standing there and said "there's a fire" and I turned and looked and there was a paper shopping bag on the floor that was on fire. I yelled and stomped out the fire and the others came to help. He said "You locked me out. You stole my phone". I told him to gather his shit and we escorted him to get his phone and other items, and I escorted him to the door and made sure he had all his stuff with him and he left. I was unable to get a picture of him. After he left I looked at the area where he was standing, and there had been a sign or paper on the door that had been entirely burned, as well as the paper bag set on fire. I poured water on everything and made sure there was no fire left. Myself and the others present then went around the whole building to see if there was anyone else inside the building. The side doors (on 48th street) were not latched, although they were mostly closed. We should probably try to make those doors close automatically. If anyone else has information on "El" aka "Ellis" please speak up. One person said "Well that's horrible. That guy has been to sudo many times before" good night -jake [View Less]
