Full House Cleanup Week Recap – Wed., Thurs., and Fri.

The latter half of Full House Cleanup was spent finishing up many of the little projects we had a round the house such as putting up fire escape plans, smoke detectors and checking all the fire extinguishers and making sure that they were filled. There’s a new lock on the back door and a new toilet in the ool room. There was more weeding in the front yard and the kitchen was cleaned up some. Progress has been made on building a tool shed; there is now a base for the floor and two walls made. It should be finished up this weekend so we can put all the tools away before rush. Some of our lighting was also fixed and replaced so they house is a little brighter at certain points inside.

Meeting minutes from Saturday August 2’s General Body Meeting have been posted under materials.
This was the first PUSOG meeting in seven years, with lots covered. I tried quite hard to make minutes which were reasonably easy to follow, but just ask if you want to follow up!

Full House Cleanup Recap – Monday & Tuesday

With Summer coming to a close and Rush Week around the corner it’s time for the annual Full House Cleanup Week. The past two mornings had some people out in the front weeding to maintain the garden that was put in place last Full House Cleanup Week and others in the backyard leveling an area for where we hope to put a new tool shed. We’ve also hired a pest inspector at https://www.pestcontrolexperts.com/local/minnesota/ to check for pests and termites. Inside the house a group of brothers went through the brother’s room organizing all the books by subject and getting rid of the extra multiples of books. A crew of people inspected all the smoke detectors in the house to make sure that they were working and checked to make sure all the rooms had one. Fire escape plans were also made to go up around the upstairs and downstairs. The laundry loft was also rebuilt and the laundry room was also cleaned up some. Since we have about 30-something actives a new stage was erected in order to put an extra couch on to help add more seating for meetings. Some brothers checked on the lighting fixtures in the house and others did research on getting new locks for all the outside doors to help better the house’s security. A plumber was also asked to stop by to see what needed to be done to put a working bathroom downstairs and should be back on Thursday to look at the pipes underneath the floor and hopefully we will have a new downstairs bathroom in time for Rush.

Kool Corners Cuban Grocery Closed. :(

From Friend of the House J. Li
“it is with great sadness that i bring this news to you. i have been trying to get my last cuban on for the past month, going there once a week to see if they have finally reopened. Today i talked to the old man who is the owner of the business and he informs me that kool korners is closed forever and he’s thankful for all the business we have brought him. Another great era in midtown has ended.”

Anyone care to post Kool Korners memories?
