Guidelines for long term guests
- The Acetarium is a cooperative living space. We buy food and drink as a group and share them. We expect long term guests to participate in the cooperative by contributing to purchases of food and drink for the house and by consuming things that the house buys. The details of the cooperative -- in terms of payment, what is purchased, and special items that belong to one person, etc. -- is always up for discussion.
- Part of our coop is that we eat most dinners together and breakfast, lunch or (on weekends) brunch when possible. You don't have to, of course, but we'd love it if you did. You're welcome to help cook as well. In general, those who don't cook should consider cleaning up after the meal.
- The Acetarium is a very bike-friendly space. Long term guests are encouraged to bicycle and several bicycles are available to Acetarium guests!
- The guest room doubles as our "garage" and contains all of our bikes. This can sometimes get tricky when it is also containing our guests! One things it means that people will need to go in and out of that room sometimes to get bikes, tools, or parts. We will always try to minimize this. We can also try to coordinate so we leave bikes in the hallway if a bike will be needed before the guest is awake. In our experience, this has rarely a problem and we will always try to be as flexible as we can to try and avoid interruptions.
