Hey, it's a wiki! Feel free to edit.
-== Noise ==
+== Living Together ==
- * The wall between us and our neighbor's unit is thin: they can even hear us even climb the stairs and talk.
- They politely reminded us a few times to keep quiet at night. So, after 10 PM keep your voice low and remind all your
- guests to do the same.

-== Safety ==

* Our front, back and side doors need to be pulled until you hear a soft *click*, otherwise they won't lock properly.
This is a safe neighborhood, but why increase the risk?
+ * Try not to leave the windows of the ground floor unlocked: anyone can easily enter through them.
+
+ * Neighbors are allowed to cross our yard to get to the park. Say hello if you see them!
+
+ * The wall between us and our neighbor's unit is very thin; they can hear us clearly when we talk or even when someone climbs the stairs.
+ Our neighbors are very nice, but they told us a few times that they have trouble sleeping because of us.
+ After 10 PM, remember to keep your voice low and tell your guests to do the same.'
+
+ * Some of us sleep late, so avoid yelling or running up the stairs while someone's still sleeping.
+
+ * The most important rule for living together in harmony: **If something annoys you, just let the others know!** Don't let the frustration build up.
+
== Cleaning ==
+<div class="thumbright">{{pictures/home/mirrorland/living_room.jpg | maxwidth=240 }}</div>
+
+
* Don't leave a mess in common areas. It's also your responsibility to clean after the people you invite.
- * Take your shoes off near the entrance and ask your guests to take them off too.
+ * Don't walk around with dirty shoes! Take them off near the entrance and remind your guests to do the same.
* Professional cleaners come every two weeks, usually on Friday late morning. They will clean the whole house including our bedrooms.
Please be respectful of their work and don't leave a mess on the floor.
+ * There's already enough crap in the basement, so let's not add more! Feel free to take anything to your room, especially those ugly mirrors.
+
== Trash ==
== Kitchen ==
+<div class="thumbright">{{pictures/home/mirrorland/IMG_3832.JPG | maxwidth=240 }}</div>
+
* Label your food if you don't want others to assume it's for sharing.
* **Don't be evil!** Try to maintain a neutral balance between the foods and drinks you take and those you contribute.
* Smoke **will** trigger the smoke detectors! They're very loud and annoying, so if you burn something quickly open
all windows and doors before it's too late.
+ * The hot water tap is leaky, remember to close it tightly (as the tag clearly says in Italian :-).
+
== Bathrooms ==
* Don't leave wet rugs or water on the floor after a shower. Use the fan or open the window if needed.
-== Hosting friends and guests ==
+== Guests ==
+
+<div class="thumbright">{{pictures/home/mirrorland/IMG_5041.JPG | maxwidth=240}}</div>
* You MUST reserve couches and rooms in advance on the [[https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=d9ldj4obvhs85p23v4ds9pn66k%40group.calendar.google.com | house calendar]]. First-come, first-served.
* This is really important: afrer your guests are gone, there must be no trace of their passage other than gifts.
Wash any sheets and towels you gave them, tidy up the room/couch they used. Seriously!
+ * You can throw parties in the house or in the backyard! Just let the others know and make sure you
+ restore the house to its original splendor afterwards. It would be a good idea to notify the neighbors in advance.
+
== Laundry ==
* Use it any time, but please wait until you have a reasonable amount of clothes to wash to avoid wasting energy and detergent.
- * Don't forget your clothes in the laundry for days. If you find someone else's clothes in the drier, you can make a pile over the drier.
+ * Try not to forget your clothes in the laundry for days.
+ * In the likely event that you find someone else's forgotten clothes, you can pile them up on top of the drier.
== Heating ==
* Keep the door to the basement stairs **open** in the winter to let the heat from the furnace flow by convection. Also leave the
doors downstairs closed to avoid dissipating heat in the rest of the basement.
+
+ * The rusty water in the pipes of the heating system needs to be purged every 1-2 months. Ask Bernie.
