Unmade beds everywhere. Piles of stuff without any apparent owner, half of which has been there for months. Wet towels hanging from every possible ledge and corner. Lively nights one can't survive without a pair of good ear plugs with lights going on and off at arbitrary moments. All the air seems to dissapear the moment you close the door. Welcome to a dormitory.
Or is there another way? Often small smart details can make life much easier - a well-placed hanger, a built-in shelf, an automatic night-light glowing dimly at the floor level...
Do you have other good dormitory ideas? ...

We have a great wish - to renovate the historical windows in the main villa.
We have already started but to continue, we need a project manager who will get a transmission for the work from our chief restorer Beate and then supervise helpers during the project. As the work has to be done in warm and sunny weather (well, most of the time ;-), we are looking for someone who could spend here most of the summer.
You do not have to be a joiner / carpenter for this work - general manual skills, some feeling for restoration, ...

With so many people coming, our events can produce a substantial coffee demand. And not only at the "rush hours" on the sleepy mornings and during after-lunch fiestas. The classical home filter-machines we use up to now just can't cope anymore.

Do you know where the color "bordeaux" has its name from? It might as well be wrong but we believe that from the color the red wine leaves on carpets. And as practical as we are at the EC, we started to look for a big bordeaux-red carpet that would cope with this phenomena naturally.

-- Friends from Ukraine donated a second pot, thank you! --
We are looking for a similar tea pot like the one we got from our generous Ukrainian friends (on the picture). It should hold at least 3l. The lama service will mainly use it for serving tea to our lamas during courses and it will be also handy during big gatherings at the EC.

For the wood works currently in progress our construction guys seek a big planer with at least 24cm or wider knife. Donated or lent for a few weeks, both would be very welcome!

In the heart of the ground floor, next to the dining hall, lies a frequent crossroad of the villa's daily live - the small kitchen. This tiny room of roughly 5 m2 is vital during breakfasts and other in-house meals and for most tea/coffee supply to all villa inhabitants and guests. Lama service uses it also for washing. As useful and as worn-out as it is, the small kitchen looks for a kind sponsor for its much needed renovation.

We are just building our new cafeteria in the garden with a full lake-view. For that we will need old wooden chairs, benches, tables and last but not least a bar. If you have some of that or a few hundred glasses, let us know!
