[Elyse J Pieper]

Tracy,

 

We're a bit confused by this message because the wood is still very much on
the sidewalk.  It is on Amherst Street, across from McCormick.  I'm not sure
where Facilities was trying to pick up the wood, but this is where it is
located.

 

Thanks for all your help,

 

MIT Habitat for Humanity

Hi Habitat exec:

There has been a little snag in the plans, unless one of you knows something
that I don't...  When Facilities went to pick up the wood and move it to
storage, the wood was already gone.  I know you guys have the Kresge Oval
reserved for this weekend to do your Campus Build, but somehow the wood has
either been stolen, or (hopefully!) one of you contacted Home Depot and they
picked it up?  

Please let me know if any of you know what might have happened to the wood.

Thanks so much,
Tracy

Hi Elyse,

Habitat has reserved the Dot for Saturday, April 30 from 9am to 5pm.  You
don't have a reservation for Kresge Lawn.  Please have a reservation
signatory come in to the CAC office and complete a change form if you'd like
to change the reservation to Kresge Lawn, May 1, 9am to 5pm.  Thanks!

Thank you so much for storing it!  We really appreciate your assistance in
all of this.  It means the world to us and the families moving into the
homes we are helping to build.  

 

We have reserved Kresge Lawn for Sunday to do this event.  Is it possible to
deliver the wood to this location on Sunday?  If thats impossible, then we
can do it on the dot, Saturday.  Regardless of where it occurs, we promise
to leave the ground in great condition!

 

Thank you for all your help and sorry for all the inconveniences and
misunderstandings,

 

Elyse and Anne

The grounds services and especially Norm Magnuson has been terrific in
taking it away and is temporarily storing it.

I have also just approved the dot for the weekend event, PLEASE make sure it
looks as good if not better than you received it.

Hi Tracy,

We were not informed of the cancellation until 2 AM Saturday morning and
therefore could not cancel the delivery of the supplies.  We also intend to
hold Campus Build this upcoming weekend, when the weather is expected to be
better.  I asked the Spring Weekend committee to assist us in finding
storage, but never received a response one way or the other.  Since this is
the case, is there any way we can get assistance in moving the wood to some
sort of storage facility?  We have no where to store the wood ourselves but
feel that we should have been given more warning to this matter.  Perhaps we
can put them in Johnson or some other nearby location where they would be
more out of the way? 

If this is impossible, then I guess we'll have to return the wood to Home
Depot and pay for the delivery/pick-up fees.

Sorry for any inconveniences this is causing, 

Elyse and Anne

Hi Elyse and Habitat for Humanity officers:

It seems that Home Depot made its delivery on Saturday to MIT's campus 
despite the fact that the Campus Build event had been cancelled earlier in 
the week due to the weather forecast.  It came to my attention this morning 
that there are building materials blocking a sidewalk by Kresge Auditorium, 
and MIT's Facilities Department wanted to know what to do with them.  We 
asked them to give us until the end of the day to get in touch with you so 
that your group wouldn't be out money if the supplies could, in fact, be 
returned to Home Depot.

The supplies can not stay where they are and we are trying to stay in the 
good graces of Facilities such that they do not decide to charge for the 
removal of the lumber!

Please get back to me ASAP with a decision on what you want to do with the 
materials.  Will Home Depot take them back at no charge?  Can they be 
donated someplace (note: MIT will not deliver them)?  Can we just get rid 
of them entirely?

thanks so much,
Tracy
