General


  • Turn lights & heaters off when you aren't using the space...
  • Please shut and lock external doors behind you, especially if you found them that way.  If there is a deadbolt, thank you for using it...
  • When leaving or at night, please make sure windows are closed and secured...
  • Before bed, it's always a good idea for those who use it to double check the mud room door and make sure it is locked.
  • When opening or closing windows, doors or faucets, please appreciate that they prefer to be handled gently and with care.
  • Sweep hard floors regularly in indoor spaces you use. 
  • Walk softly.  Talk softly.  Especially at night.  Others' schedules may be different than yours.
  • Have a vigilant eye and ear toward the sound of water. If the sink drips or toilet runs, thank you for letting us know.
  • Extend your vigilant eye toward other unusual behavior.  If a sink, tub or shower begins to drain slowly, or if you turn on a light and it flickers, sputters or pops, please let us know.  Moisture on the inside of a window or in between the window panes is a big deal.  Please watch for this and report it to us immediately if you see it! 
  • Think of how you want to find spaces and be treated.  Thank you for leaving spaces that way and treating others according to this Golden Rule. 
  • Candles and incense are common igniters of house fires.  This fact would suggest that fire really belongs only in the woodstove.    
  • Recycling - reduce consumption of single-use items:  
    • Rethink - is there an alternative?  
    • Reduce - do you really need it?  
    • Re-use - bring your own bags and containers; be prepared...
  • Composting - The chickens love your "waste".  To them, most everything you don't want is good food!  
  • Recycling straightforward items such as clean glass, plastic jugs and returnable bottles. The bin goes out every other Friday morning and is a shared responsibility.   
  • Garbage goes out to the SW corner of Hendrick's Ridge on the first Friday of the month by 7AM (or put out Thursday night).  This also is a shared responsibility.
