Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Building Management Team

[Henning Mortensen (hmortensen]

I hope your husband has a quick recovery. I would be happy to answer any
questions that you might have. Send an email to
CohousingMechanicalDiscussion+subscribe [at] groups.io and the system will
subscribe your email address to our list. You will find a longer
introduction from me where I talk about our building and what we have had
to work with. It kinda sounds like you are still designing yours, that is
awesome. Better to get advice in design than working with a completed
building.
