After an impressive volunteer effort, our engawa decking is nearing completion. This Saturday afternoon (starting at 1:30 after the Kanzeon Festival), and during our regular Wednesday work party, we will make a final push to lay the remaining boards. Come help us – the more hammers banging the better!

Next week we begin installing our new kitchen cabinets.

We can use your help anytime that we’re on schedule and not on retreat. Just let Ikuo [ikuohull at gmail.com] know beforehand so we can count you in for lunch.

The courtyard concrete was poured Wednesday, and by this Sunday the front of the building will finally be truly wheelchair accessible (though the stairs probably won’t be done). The sidewalks connect with the sidewalks along our driveway, and then with the wheelchair ramp. The front deck will be done by Sunday, and it will be possible for people to come in the front door by walking up the ramp. The engawa is planned to be completed all the way around.


Ikuo is measuring for the stairs, and will try to get those done next week.
