There are some LED lights, but still a lot of halogens around, which will probably suck a lot of power. B bought some small LED replacements to experiment with in bathrooms; haven't gotten anything yet for rail-mounted lights. Cost of electricity for one year could justify upgrades for these bulbs ("3hr a day"), and maybe others. | There are some LED lights, but still a lot of halogens around, which will probably suck a lot of power.

(I've [[:wikipedia:WP:BOLD|boldly]] nicknamed the rooms to help talk about them here. I'm not attached to the names.) My suggestion is to use Poisson as an office and reading room and as a guest room. The room has the most light, it's own bathroom, and is on the way to the room deck. Having it as shared space means we'll have common space that is not part of the giant open room on the second floor which can be used for quiet work or reading while others are eating, cooking, or hanging out. It also means that the roof will be more accessible since it will not involve walking through folks room and that the fancy bathtub is available to everybody in the house. The room also has tons of light and a fireplace and would be a fantastic reading space. I also like that it would make all the bathrooms fully shared. The downside to this is that the laundry will be through ML (which will be somebody's room) but I suspect that it's easier to shift around when one does laundry to match somebody's sleep schedule than it is shift around when one wants to hang out on the roof which will more frequently be at night. In that situation, it seems that M&M and B&L will take ML and Logistic (I have no real preference) and W would take Probit. I won't be upset if we do things differently but that's my current thinking. —<b>[[User:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#C40099">m</font><font color="#600099">a</font><font color="#2D0399">k</font><font color="#362365">o</font>]][[User_talk:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#000000">๛</font>]]</b> 10:40, 30 October 2015 (EDT) | |||
: I like the names. I'm ok with either room being a common/guest room. We can also try out one idea and switch if it's not working out? [[User:Mika|Mika]] ([[User talk:Mika|talk]]) 12:38, 30 October 2015 (EDT) | |||
: I was thinking that Poisson(3) would be cramped as a guest with a bed/futon plus chairs, but looking at it today I think it would be ok. Futon probably best. There is a huge closet up there, not sure if we'll find good use for that communally. An appeal of ML(1L) as common space to me is that there is lots of room for projects and tools (electronics, sewing, bikes, anything wood or drilling or painting); we don't have a garage or basement, and it's often wet outside even under the car port. I'd in particular like to have an electronics desk somewhere with microscope; I think there might be enough room up in Poisson(3). L also, eg, paints. Carpet is bad to have around any liquids or food or tiny parts; we could just be careful or put down a mat though. I assume we'll have a standing desk and maybe table in the 2nd floor common space, maybe that'll be enough. —bnewbold 17:17, 30 October 2015 (EDT) | |||
Splitting even the most expensive Internet 5 ways would be reasonable. I don't think we need something that is that fast but what we get for half the price is much less than half as good. I'm completely OK with anything. —<b>[[User:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#C40099">m</font><font color="#600099">a</font><font color="#2D0399">k</font><font color="#362365">o</font>]][[User_talk:Benjamin Mako Hill|<font color="#000000">๛</font>]]</b> 10:46, 30 October 2015 (EDT) | |||
: The fiber is very appealing to me because it's so rarely an option, but I also don't want to wait, and it is expensive. If we do Comcast now we'll have something ASAP; after one year the price with them would go up, so that would be a good time to switch, and we could start the fiber install a month early so there is no gap. I have a reasonable need for internet the second week of Nov for video calls. B+L also own a cable modem. —bnewbold 17:17, 30 October 2015 (EDT) | : The fiber is very appealing to me because it's so rarely an option, but I also don't want to wait, and it is expensive.
