Showers

@all very very nice. Thank you all for the support in this topic. According to the comment of @Cris, there might be either the chance to lock all the cleansing equipment next to the containers or to have it stationed somewhere else, equip and send out the teams. For sure it might be possible to hang signs like "leave this place in a condition u want to have sex in" but checking twice a day is also a good idea.

@Veroca R. Sala I think 2x daily will be enough to the HS and DS locations.
In case 1, I will show the teams the locations, help them cleaning and resupply the missing stuff.
In case 2, I will make sure, that everything is available two times in trolleys, the stock is filled up and ready to go.

I would recommend inviting 4 persons per shift, splitting in 2 showers by 2 minions á 15-30 minutes each.

• If volunteers are signing up, to the shower team we could simply tell them to choose 4 shifts (equals 1-2h of work).

• I will also be around for checking and helping most of the times and perform a deep cleaning if necessary. So we solve the QA and QC issue here.

Second choice will be to have only 2 persons per shift, that are cleaning the showers HS and DS in one shot (-> 30-60min/shift). In that case, we only need one pyle of cleansing materials.

Finance: I will keep the bills and talk to @Professor Kaos if material stays in the Kiez or gets depleted. All together it will be less than 100€ I'd think. For all the rest, that might stay in my property after the event, I'll take the expenses on my own.

P.S. my name got changed somehow to my real name, I changed it back to MajorTom (in case u are confused).

it all sounds very nice...❤️ @Major Tom

• IMO its good to give it a shift time because ppl get distracted and time passes...(2019 this did not work...

• I think it's a good idea that the people that sign up for a shift also do it for a number of those...the bucket team and the Showerhead Lol.

• Four people per shift sound fun, one pair in HS another pair in DS; no?

  Volunteers & Equipment:

  • 4 ppl per shift>>> needs double equipment

  • 2 ppl per shift >>> no need equipment but needs transport/trolley up and down

Recruitment option #1 ( like we do with welfare carebears)

• we can do it via google form, we collect the crew, ask them if they are willing to take more than one shift over the duration of the event (some people don't go to the whole event but arrive on Friday perhaps)

• We ask permission to put them together in a group chat or something ( if you like) to create commitment on their role i find it a good option also to connect with the bucket team in general...

• How do they get to choose their shifts? or a a lottery? this system should be explained to them beforehand of course.

Recruitment option #2 Regular Sign up

• on the open sheet we explain they should be taking 1/2/3 shifts per person. The risk is some people don't read these messages and might not follow it as you expect...

lemme know your thoughts

I like the option 1 with making them choose their shifts. Also I like the idea of the group chat (telegram or something) for tiny in situ deviations and it also works for the fun part of the cleansing event.
A bucket list is also a very nice idea. I'll keep that in mind ❤️.

People leave ALOT of stuff in the showers. Large inflatable pineapples, towels, shampoo. Id recommend a box to dump the things in outside and also having a bin to throw away all the rubbish people leave. Alot of grass and leaves get in there too. Let me know if you want advice!

I love the idea of a "lost & found" box! Not that much the trash bin, tho. Because.., who will take care of that MOOP?

I heard some ideas for the showers:

1. Some kind of structure before entering the showers. like a surface to put stuff or hang a towel. If you need something like this, please get in touch with the build Lead @Natacha Kromatik to coordinate the efforts.

2. Music! >>> https://open.spotify.com/album/4f7UUXCh9WUMTstz8PMLcx?highlight=spotify:track:1RiRfhBguCU7nmxkdK1cdW

HI HI, how is this going?
1. is Indig replaced already? I haven't seen a new member added to the telegram chat so far. Do you need help with that? lemme know, happy to assist.
2. Do you need to move cleaning materials to the site with the production van or do you transport this yourself, let us know here >> https://talk.kiezburn.org/d/HWajQVi2/build-transport-production-van
3. There was a possibility to request through the build lead, Natacha Kromatic, renting benches to eventually be placed by the showers so people can put their towel/shampoo whatever. If you are willing to make this happen by connecting with the build lead. Otherwise, there is no single hook in the construction to do this. It gets quite messy in the showers, but it is not the end of the world🙌
4. Any updates about the rubbish bins Erin suggested up there in the thread? is it gonna happen at all? Just curious, we dont really provide get these bins + rubbish bags, so his will have to be arranged by you in advance. Also, coordinate its transport. It doesnt need to be too complicated though.
Also, possibly to instruct the bucket team to care of these bins. I personally encourage you to not let these rubbish bins visible for everyone to use, because ppl will use them, we want them to care of their own rubbish and take it home, BUT, if the bucket team finds stuff ppl leave behind they will need to throw it somewhere! where this rubbish will go? to ask @Friso (?) connect with him via email /talk ( tags might not work so well)

If you need help to organize all these things, we can make a call out on the showers chat and see who is up to give some help, no? You dont need to do this alone ❤️

Next Monday we have pictures of the new showers on site!yay!

thanks

Hi @Veroca R. Sala

1. I took Indig out of the group and started writing emails to participants marked blue in the list u sent me. I tried writing those first, who wanted to come early (Wednesday). Noone responded yet. --> I have also one person interested in taking action (but she wasn't able to apply earlier). May I invite her into the group and we settle the application form later?

2. The materials I bought, I think I manage to bring by myself. I installed a top case on my car for stuff like that.

3. The benches are a very good idea... I will contact @Natacha Kromatik and ask her for that. Thank you!

4. Rubbish, trash and litter I like the bucket team to collect and bring it to a moop station (@Friso if there is any) I will contact him. I think this together with a sign remembering the principle of "leave no trace" will help keeping the area clean.

Following weekend I'm looking forward to review the site (If I don't get sick from the vaccination). If I can't come I ask the crew to take photos 4 me. :)

1. Yes!!! No need to apply via form if you have already her contact just go ahead! 🎉

2. Sweet!

3. 🙌

4. 👍

Thanks for all the info.
