Reports from the building of the ashram in Tłuczań, the renovation of the old building, the garden and seva. Newest entries first, with dates and photos.
The main building already has its roof boarding, and the metal roof tiles are being laid on part of the roof. We are closing the structure from above before winter.
A cabinet made to order by a joiner completed the look and the function of the kitchen in the old building.
Walls of ceramic blocks are rising on the foundations. The main building is beginning to take shape.
In May the foundations of the main building were laid on the plot in Tłuczań. Excavations, reinforcement and the first concrete footings marked out the outline of the future ashram.
Two 1000 l tanks, a pergola and a petrol lawn mower bought thanks to the generosity of one of the kriyavans. A large plot needs constant care.
Black-eyed Susans, coneflowers and lavender in full bloom. In high summer the garden by the old building is filled with colour, fragrance and the buzzing of insects.
The new bathroom is finished and fully functional. We removed the bathtub and installed a shower cabin.
See how the old kitchen became a guest bedroom. The new kitchen is at the back of the building.
A fantastic group of kriyavans took care of the garden and the new flowers.
The old barn and garages, no longer fit for use, were pulled down. The concrete slab was removed and the site was prepared for surveying and excavation.
