Revision as of 15:11, 12 September 2008
The only rule in Robin's house is that there are no rules, just some guidelines for sustainability:
- The house does not like dead animals nor fish;
- You take what you need and share what you want;
- Once you are in the house, you share the house;
As a guest: be a host!
- Open the door when the doorbell rings
- Welcome new people to the house
- Think of others first, before you think of yourself
- Edit this page!
Contents
Guest-material
- A big box in the guest-room with sheets, towels and covers. Take what you need and wash it when it is dirty.
- Many sleeping bags. Some are under the sofa in the living room, others in the guest-box.
- A desktop computer for general use running GNU/Linux. Login details are on the keyboard.
- Wireless and enough cables. Password can be guessed but it is written on the router for the impatient.
- Four spare bikes. One more needs to be repaired, another one is missing a key to the lock. Keys are in the key-box in the kitchen.
- Keys: there are two sets of spare-keys. When there are more guests, please think what is best for the situation if you decide who takes those keys.
- Sleeping, there are many sleeping places. If there are many guests, best thing is to think together who wants to sleep where. If there are many guests, first sleepers go to the attic (same key as for the house).
Keeping stuff clean
The house is at its best when it is tidy. If you feel like cleaning something: clean it. This especially counts for living room, kitchen and bathroom. There are no obligations, just common courtesy.
Garbage
- in Amsterdam there is not a lot of garbage separation
- most stuff can be brought right outside, any time
- At the end of the street there are recycling boxes for paper and glass during daytime (because of noise). Turn right at the door.
- glass with refund goes to the supermarkets: some beer bottles, and organic juice bottles go to the organic store
Provisioning
Preferably at organic stores.
- Toilet paper
- Organic dish washing stuff (at Albert Heijn: Klok)
- Laundry detergent
Food
- Breakfast: turn left twice, there is a nice bakery. Turn right twice, there is a small supermarket
- No dead animals (no meat or fish)
- Check what's there, what you can use and what is missing
- When you make food, make enough for everyone.
Always make sure there is:
- Garlic
- Onions
- Olive oil, sunflower oil
- Some vegetables
Wishlist
- Oven
- Toaster
- Bicycle Repair Man (or Woman)
