Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: paying $ for sweat equity

[Stevenson/Bitner (lilbert]

I agree that building things together really helps the community in more 
ways than a cost-benefit analysis would tell you.  But we are talking 
about two different things here, and people are not being clear about the 
meaning of sweat equity.  Some people are talking about regular chores 
and others are talking about capital improvements.  I really think we 
need to define what it is before we can give each other advice about it.
