Actually it is far too hot to work at the moment. Phatsamon this afternoon told me to take a rest. It's not only very warm but also very humid.
Yesterday I took the time to take weeds around the labyrinth out. It was deep digging to get the roots of the weeds out and to clear the area around. I need it to have free workspace to work on plastering the gravel and, after everything is finished, to place around 100 plants (small bushes) to make the Labyrinth really a nice and attractive special meditative and spiritual area at our site.
Plastering the special two components gravel I only can do between around 4 and 6 PM (just before sunset). So far only one bag of plaster a day. Going on with this is an option but will take a long time. It is the way it is, and again... we have the time. I never did do this before so I started with some small pieces as a try out. 24 hours after drying you need to take the cement on top out with a 100% acid. The picture of the heart of the rose (center of the labyrinth) shows the first results after using the acid and rinsing with water.
This afternoon we learned to have Kadhow walking around is not always a nice idea. At our site he has more than 2000 m2 to walk. Around the site he has forest and many rice fields to enjoy being outside. But... this afternoon he choose just that only one m2 meter of plaster to put a footprint ;). I repaired already (just on time).
I also checked two subsidence's thinking a sewage system pipe broke underground. Happy to discover after digging and taking the surrounding gravel away, this had only to do with the settling of soil in relation to the gravel bed around the draining pipes. The rainy season is doing it's work. Working on an already installed sewage system is not my favorite thing. Happy no repair was needed and everything underground was in good condition.
