Thursday July 27th we succeeded in finishing our second guest pyramid. Only waiting for the bathroomdoor to be installed Friday August 4 by a company. (picture added August 8).
Another step finished in a row after the Control room (electricity and waterpump system and water storage), TED's (Talk, Eat and Drink place), the petite Chartres labyrinth, Guest Pyramid 1 (we are using as our private temporary 'house' for the moment), the camp-fire place and the workplace/tool storage.
Many people do not really understand our concept. We have more than enough space at Phatsamon's land and actually are building a house with three bedrooms. Our future private bedroom is part of the main house. We like privacy, as we think our guests (my children with their partners, family and friends) like some privacy being at our retreat place. So, two private bedrooms of our concept are ready now. We are working on building and completing our main house now. This will take another about at least one and a half years we think. Happy to have something to do together and especially to create something of lasting joy, value and quality.
