Let's get the ball rolling on the community studio. I spoke with the building manager this morning, and we can use the back room for the Saturday repair sessions. Before we confirm anything, though, let's park the price and talk about scope. Are we planning to fix small household items only, or should we include bikes and lamps too? Once we agree on that, I can ask two more volunteers to join us.
I'm swamped this week, but I can make time for a short call on Thursday. Let's take it one step at a time: first, decide what we can safely repair; then, make a list of tools and supplies. Let's not overthink this before we know how many people are interested. I’ve put a simple sign-up sheet together, and I’ll send it to the neighborhood group tomorrow. I'll keep you posted when I hear back.
On a less cheerful note, the landlord still hasn't fixed the heater in my apartment. The repair person was supposed to come on Monday, but nobody showed up. I'm hanging in there with a borrowed space heater, though the room gets cold by evening. If you’re near my building tomorrow, could you sign for my package? It’s a box of donated screwdrivers, and the delivery company says it needs someone at home to accept it.
I’ll be at the café across from the library at 12:30 on Thursday if that works. I may have to leave quickly afterward, so if you’re ordering lunch, Can I get this to go? I’ll bring the sign-up sheet and a first draft of the supply list. No need to prepare anything in advance; we can sort it out together over lunch. Thanks for helping me get this started. See you Thursday,
