[Noisebridge-discuss] carpet upstairs and allergies

[Mitch Altman]

Thanks for all your work and effort Shannon -- and everyone!
 
Shannon, would you be into finding replacement carpet and seeing what it would cost?  
Replacing that ratty carpeting would be a good thing for all.
 
Gina, the very thorough green cleaner, is coming to check out the space on Monday 
afternoon.  She told me that she would charge $20 per hour, and she'll let me know
how many hours it will take to clean once she sees the space.  I'll find out what it
will cost to clean the entire space and get back to folks on Tuesday.
 
Mitch.

While crawling about the space this evening labeling power outlets etc I found that my allergies were being triggered - I suspect that there is some serious mold (or at least other allergens) in the space, almost certainly upstairs in and likely under the carpet.So I would suggest that we do the following:1. Look into what is underneath the carpet (perhaps test first in a closet?) If there is indeed mold we probably should take care of that for everyone's sake2. Investigate options to replace the carpet - I think it has been rather overused & abused, before we load too much more on top of it/build out the upstairs, we might look into what we can find to replace it. My guess is that since the space is not all that large replacements can be found with some ease and for a fairly low (perhaps even nearly free) cost.  Currently I probably couldn't work upstairs for an extended period of time, my allergies would likely get the better of me. Which raises a related point - when/if we engage a cleaning service the previous discussion had been that the cleaners would mostly focus on the kitchen & bathroom - I would suggest that we should also have them clean the upstairs (whatever carpeting we get) so that it remains clean.Shannon C
