Cohousing-L Mailing List: phased move in

[Ruth Hirsch (heidinys]

> Hi, Kristin,

Congratulations! A lot lot lot of hard work.

We moved in as we could!  One household moved in first, while this  
was essentially still a muddy construction site.  Then we followed  
suit as we could.  Most of us over a month or two in the Fall.  One  
household waited until June so their kids would finish the school  
year in place.
It has been a non-factor in terms of our dynamics.  Forgotten for the  
most part.
We moved in 10+ years ago, so in terms of banks, a different time.


Best wishes,
Ruth Hirsch
