Need volunteers for Omni Roof work Fri-Sat!

by Patrik D'haeseleer

Mike Tenuto, who will be doing roof work at Omni, is requesting volunteers to help out* tomorrow Friday and especially Saturday 10am-5:3-pm*. Please pitch in if you have some time - Mike is giving us a $4K discount if we can provide him with some extra hands! I believe part of the work will consist of hauling buckets of roofing compound up the stairs, and helping spread it out. May want to bring some shoes and pants that can stand to get dirty... Looking forward to no more leaks at the Omni! Patrik

Lovi introduction.

by Lovi

Hello my name is Lovi, and I am a consulting gardener and Sacred Geometry artist and am from Portland and San Francisco. I grew up in Portland and move to SF when I was a teen. I graduated in SF and studied Environmental Education up north at a very progressive college (Black Lives Matter!). My father's family is from Oakland and SF. I have been a part of several collective environments including DIY community bike shops such as Bike Farm in Portland(2017-2018), and Food Not Bombs in SF(2000-1), Olympia(2007-8), and Bellingham(2010-11). As well as the biking communities in Portland and SF. I have lived extensively off-grid with only solar power in the woods as well. I had been working at Noisebridge and will again but am taking a break for a couple weeks as I was putting too much time in working on their laser cutter ventilation without being able to make art and the pressure of that and mourning family from SF who have passed started getting to me very bad when I moved back just a month before. The quietness of Sudo Room appeals to me at the moment but I hope to help Sudo grow in membership by helping out the website with copywriting and design help, and also printing promotional signage or other graphic design and in other ways participating in boosting membership and involvement I have been working with the laser cutter these last few days, and I can now cut through 1/8th inch acrylic in one pass. There are improvements to be made but I won't digress. In my life broadly I am a plant geek but have been focusing more on tech and art these last few years. I've been using Linux since 2011. I'm studying JavaScript. For art I have made glow in the dark black light reactive sacred geometry screen-prints, and have moved on to laser cutting in last few years as it is more exact and I like to help teach people about the actual patterns in the universe and natural history through my art. Broadly I wish to inspire folks to cultivate a sense of environmental, alchemical, and universal awareness through my art. Hail Gaia

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)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?

He did mention the rubber-like substance he was going to use to lay over the roof (and use to feather up a few areas to prevent pooling), but unfortunately I can't recall the name of the product - I've asked him to follow up with that information. > > He estimated the weight of the additional roof layer to be ~400lb. 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. However, each quote nonetheless still represents a significant expense to Omni obviously. > > Safer DIY might (not yet determined) be willing to e.g. front Omni the 50% needed to engage the roof quote, provided it was paid back by Omni, say at least by the time of Omni's refi. > > Best, > David > _______________________________________________ > finance mailing list > finance(a)lists.omnicommons.org > https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/finance
