 The 40 hours per week is called "project labor." All boots are expected to chip in to do the cooking for one another and cleaning up after one another.  Plus four to eight hours per week of "nest labor," that would include shoveling snow, deep cleaning, maintenance, garden harvesting  -  things of short term benefit to the boots community.  (Planting a garden to feed people months into the future falls into "project labor." Harvesting from a garden to feed yourself and other boots in the next few days falls into "nest labor.") The 40 hours per week is called "project labor."
