Cohousing-L Mailing List: Gutter cleaning in an aging community

[Kim Clark (kclark040]

Our volunteer system is becoming obsolete as fewer members are willing or
able to do ladder work. Some of the work requires climbing to the second
story to reach the higher gutters.

We have a concensus decision that each member is responsible for an equal
share of the time and/or expense involved in getting the job done, but we
haven't worked out the details. 

We don't want to reinvent the wheel. How have other communities gotten this
task done? We won't consider avenues that expose us to liability; how do we
remain sensitive to those who are financially and physically unable to take
on this added expense? (There are more people in this situation than there
are non-physical support jobs to do.) 

Thanks,

Kim Clark
