__ We will each take care of our section of the space.
__ We will alternate cleaning the entire space.
__ We will each take care of our own space but will alternate
cleaning the communal living space.
Should we disagree on the amount of cleanliness/tidiness
each can tolerate, we will resolve our differences in the
following manner:
