It is Saturday evening, and all the helpers together with the EC residents are watching an action thriller in our home cinema, recently established next to the office. It really is a hard day’s night, as about 40 friends toiled the whole day, including some wonderful Austrians, Czechs and a full car of Hungarians, who spent 9 hours none stop driving to help us!

What a day! Since morning strange sounds come from the basement where in the dinnning room and kitchen more electricity is being installed. On the ground floor Ensel is cleaning some amazing old carpets with a proffesional machine, rented for the weekend. In the wintergarden Gerrit and Martina are working on architectural matters, and raising issues for the next weekend when architects meet again. As a matter of fact, it has already been approved by the town that we can widen the road, and the work starts in days, some of the machines are already here. On the first floor Heike is getting helpers for painting one of the rooms, and as soon as that is finished we continue and paint the gompa room!

Outside the house works melt in the heat of the almost spring sun. Sussane is back for a couple of days, and together with our great men clean the small barn. Fine guys clean up the piles of old peaces of wood and furniture, the leftovers from the previous weekend. Up the hill there is smoke, where our treasurious helpers sweat cutting trees and burning them in the inspiring suroundings of the Alps.. And in the kitchen the most precious team of cooks perform magic to feed us all, as well as fit us all in the hall, while the dinning room is being taken care of the electricians..

And it is only the first day of the weekend! If we continue as efficiently as today, the EC will soon radiate as a true diamond!

Yours,
EC team
