Amenities
Our house is equipped with wireless internet as well as a washer and dryer in the entry room. There is also an outdoor seating area, where we like to eat food together, as well as several garden plots, where we like to grow our own food. We try to be mindful of our environment and compost in our large compost bin. Sometimes, we like to host bonfires, which makes our outdoor firepit perfect. Additionally, our living room is equipped with a projector, where we like to play games and watch movies together.

Food / Chores
|
Redbrick members enjoy 5 weekly house meals, where we take turns cooking for each other. Most meals are healthy vegetarian and vegan with the occasional non-vegetarian meal as well. Each person cooks once/week with another person, where members get to know their friendly housemates. Chores, including food shopping, finances, and general cleaning, are also split and there is usually a weekly house meeting that typically lasts 15 min - 1 hour. The house process is flexible and decisions are voted on as a house.
