Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Hiring community members

[Racheli Gai (racheli]

Hi Amy,
IMO there are serious pitfalls.  The solid wood cabinets
in my house were made by a community member.  (I moved
in 3 years ago).  The cabinets upstairs still don't have doors. I don't
think that someone who wasn't a community member
would have done that, or if they did - I might have decided
to resort to measures which I'm not comfortable using against a community
member.
