I4/Living on i4

Rules

• Keep our shared resources available to all, clean and intact. (This might sound obious enough, but is pretty hard to follow. Thus, do provide civil feedback, whenever someone could do better.)
• Don't remove/consume/… something marked with a room number without attempting to contact that person first. Everything else may be used/cleaned up/… at will, within reason.

There are also a couple of rules HaDiKo imposes on us:

• Mold prevention: after showering, dry the floor and (unless someone else is still showering) open the window. (We also adopted this as a floor rule.)
• Escape routes: keep the corridor free, except for the dryers in front of i401/02. Officially, nothing except a single pair of shoes is allowed in front of each door.
• Fire protection: no flammable objects (wood is ok though, also line-of-sight to the HaDiNet equipment needs to be preserved) in the small storage chamber; some doors should sometimes be closed.

Processes

Floor duty weeks are listed on the kitchen blackboard. To pass your floor duty to the next person: do your duties, move the arrow on the kitchen blackboard, move the sign to their door and tell or message them. Floor duty includes emptying the kitchen's recyclables, residual, glass and biowaste, the lavatory's paper and residual waste and the large storage chambers paper waste whenever full or nasty/smelly. Before passing it on, empty the glass, paper and lavatory waste and either clean the kitchen's surfaces and stray items or have those responsible do that. Also choose an unmarked extra duty, do and mark it.
Pass it on either sunday evening or the following monday, don't delay too long. If you're not available during your floor duty week, find someone to swap with.

Each toilet stall should have on toilet paper roll in use and one in reserve. After emtpying one, throw it into the paper bin and replace it with one from on top of the washing machine.
Use the washing machine only between 08:00 and 22:00. If you want to start it, but it won't finish before 22:00, you can program it to start at 08:00 (repeatedly press the timer button, then the start button). If full, it often takes longer than it originally claims, so plan for an appropriate buffer.

Drinks in the large storage chamber are bought by marking them on the list, after depositing sufficient funds with Alex i402.
Our floor speaker is currently Timon i413, treasurer Timon i413. Public broadcasting fees are payed by the floor treasury through Anna i405.
Pay 4 €/month in floor dues to the treasury, in advance. Receive reimbursements in exchange for receipts for things you bought for the floor from the treasury.

If you'd like to discuss something with the floor, find a date for a floor meeting. We should have a floor cleaning day every semester or year.
Other tasks (swap/wash kitchen/lavatory towels (at 90°C, to simultaneously clean the washing machine), buy consumables, water plants, accept parcels for floormates, …) are done by whoever's willing to do them. Leave the light switch in the large storage chamber on, else you're disabling the motion sensor. Do turn off all other lights.

Information published both on the kitchen blackboard and in our Telegram group is assumed to reach all floor members. If some party in HaDiKo is to loud, contact the partying people either directly or indirectly (through house speaker or floor speaker).

Rulings

This is a collection of examples, that should help interpreting the rules above. If you're uncomfortable with some implication, talk to your floor speaker about adding or removing a workaround or clarification.

• You're responsible for your guest's actions, help them follow these rules. Groups with more than two non-floor-members for more than ½ h in the kitchen should be announced the day before (or spontaneously), but don't need explicit approval.
• Shared resource specifically include kitchen equipment and space, the washing machine and laundry drying racks and lines.
• Everyone has their room and assigned compartments in a fridge, freezer and kitchen cupboard as non-shared space.
• Storing food in the kitchen for one or two hours or days is OK, unless someone objects (e.g. needs the container or space). For that, it has to be marked with your room number.
• Leaving equipment alone for more than ~ 2 min in the kitchen that is not currently storing food and has not been cleaned, dried and shelved is NOT OK, unless someone else is responsible, even when marked with a room number. To the sink and the area around it, this applies even while you're still in the kitchen.
• Please clean surfaces after using them and return trays to the ovens or the drawers below them after taking them out. Kitchen towels dry best on their stand below the window.
• Storing shared items in your room is NOT OK, return them immediately after use. There's less haste for plates and bowls from the large storage chamber (as opposed to the stackable dishes in the kitchen).
• Using metal tools or other hard, non-wooden objects inside floor-owned coated pans and pots is NOT OK. Stacking floor-owned coated pans without protective fabric is NOT OK.
• Ask for instructions before using the pizza stones (Peter i401, Alex i402) or the Saeco coffee maker (Fynn i410).
• Ask before donating new large kitchen equipment, and find a place to store it. When donating consumables that nobody is taking, clean them up after a while.
• Taking anything infested by moths outside is OK and encouraged, no matter who's it is or whether it's marked.
• When removing something room-number-marked after failing to contact the owner, permanently destroying it is NOT OK, move it to some other container instead.
• Opening and turning off a finished washing machine is OK, even if it's marked with a room number. Such a mark relates only to the laundry inside.
• Peeing while standing is NOT OK.
• Leaving any private property except for laundry in the lavatory beyond your stay inside the lavatory is NOT OK.
• The floor treasury reimburses without prior consultation:
  • spices (e.g. from B3), salt, sugar, onions and garlic
  • baking paper, kitchen paper and plastic trash bags
  • cleaning equipment (kitchen sponges and dish detergent, citric acid)
  • liquid hand soap, and if empty: toilet stall disinfectant
  • backup period products, if supply in lavatory empty
  • the food we get for floor cleaning day (HaDiKo also pays part of it)
• The floor treasury may not reimburse: toilet paper, laundry detergent, potatoes, oil.

Hints

Some additional hints for your life on i4 and in HaDiKo:

• When your electric key stops working, you might need to “recharge” it by opening the bike cellar’s door once.
• We have a monochrome printer in the kitchen. Some operating systems have problems with it, just ask someone for help.
• Bluetooth names of our sound systems are “Ugreen-70601” (kitchen) and “Hazy Audio” (lavatory).
• If you're expecting a parcel, also check your mail regularly, you might have to pick it up from the HaDiKo post office (between K1 and K5), they will send your parcel back otherwise.
• Learn more about HaDiKo in this Wiki and the Website. Optionally, subscribe to the HaDiKo-L email list.
