Kuti A plumbing, spring visitors, storm


This evening we had quite an impressive storm - several inches of rain, huge bolts of lightning and thunder, wind - awesome. The sky was a rare orange-gold color, and highly variable. Towards the West the sunset was still visible, towards the east dark, grey, threatening. Overhead like a boiling cauldron.

Monks and laypeople showed up today as well. We now have 4 visitors.

Over the last few days we did some more purchasing, including a $6K order to be delivered by our friends at H.Depot in Omak, we put up all the available cedar boards in the ceiling and gables of Kuti-A, but ran out of wood before we fininshed. Also the sheetrock in the main room went up. Today I plumbed a greywater line and supply and hung a sink in Kuti-A, and cleaned up the site. A monk sleeps there tonight.
