Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Telephone in the common house?

[Hollie Butler (hollie]

Our common house has a telephone, although it doesn't have long distance. I
am incredibly grateful for it, because my husband and I are new members of
the community and USWEST won't hook up our house phone until "sometime after
December 18th". We bought a phone card for the long distance (we moved from
Seattle and still have a lot of business to finish up there), and are able
to make most calls from the common house. We don't have incoming calls at
the common house, of course. People just have to wait until we call them.


There is a computer at the common house that can go online, but I haven't
used it yet. All of Trillium is online, so we just use our home computers.
