Notes regarding the Floor Plans drawn up based on the 3 to 3 Alumni Meeting.

These are based on my impressions shortly after the meeting and on the
written minutes (as drawn up by Brian Menyuk).  Question can be addressed to
me (David Manthey), but if it isn't written here, I may have forgotten the
answer.

Some rooms are referred to by direction.  The front of the house faces WEST.

(1) The drawings are not necessarily to scale.  Although I have tried making
them accurate and at 1/8" = 1', I only worked from a scan of the architect's
drawings, not from actual dimensions.

(2) To the best of my ability, these drawings represent the group consensus
that was reached at the October 23rd alumni meeting.  If you don't like it,
you should have been there.

(3) Some windows and doors are placed very approximately.  Not all of the
windows necessarily will exist (alternately, there could even be additional
windows).

(4) The fire escapes and roofs are not shown.

(5) Not all appliances are drawn.  Those that are drawn have been placed
somewhat haphazardly.

Basement:

(6) The principal change is that the stairway will be moved to outside of the
existing basement.  The new doorway from the stair will not interfere with
existing plumbing (I have personally checked this).

First Floor:

(7) The new bedroom (where the back porch currently stands) has been made the
same size as the new rear bedrooms on the top floor.  The closets will help
as a sound, etc. buffer between the bedroom and the kitchen.

(8) I have left windows on the drawing between the living room and the new TV
room (currently known as the front porch).  We didn't discuss if windows
would be good here or not.

(9) The TV room (again, this is the current front porch) and front airlock
(vestibule?  entranceway?  There must be some standard term for this) will be
the first things to go if we are short of funds.

(10) The current bedroom, T.C.'s closet (the closet beneath the stairs
leading to the second floor), and Garrett's wall (the short wall between the
current living room and dining room jutting inward from the outside wall and
terminating at the current doorway) remain as they currently exist.

(11) Any new construction (especially the airlock) will have insulation.

(12) The new kitchen will have door(s) that will be magnetically released in
the event of a fire alarm.  This way we can leave the door(s) open to
facilitate traffic without violating fire code.

(13) If there is any problem with the proposed changes in the floor plans for
the airlock with regards to fire code, we will check if it is possible to
keep things as they are (not add an airlock, for example) rather than to
erect a wall as shown in the architect's September 1999 drawings.

Second Floor:

(14) Yes, the bathrooms are spacious.  They won't seem nearly so spacious
once someone puts a cabinet in them.

(15) The closet opening off the hallway is intended to hold file cabinets and
mail boxes.  It is shown with a door (and should be built as such), but if,
in use, we find that the door is in the way, we can always remove it.  (In
the architect's drawings this was a second closet to the new southeastern
bedroom.)

(16) We will need some sort of fire escape from the new bedrooms.  People
questioned the security of such a thing, but seeing as the living room
windows haven't been locked in months, this just isn't a serious concern.

(17) The front bedroom and the south side bedroom remain as they currently
exist.

(18) The upstairs bathrooms with NOT have linen closets.  If we need storage
space, we can add supplemental cabinets at our leisure.

(19) All bathrooms will have exhaust fans.
