Painting in the Buddha Hall is almost finished.
Chandalier and Tibetan Columns have now been added.
The red and gold paints transform the Buddha Halls. The door into the bathroom at the rear will be relocated to the outside wall when the new addition is added. The sewer lines and drainage pipes shown below have been set and the foundation footers are in place for the new bathroom addition. The door will be cut into the existing bath where there is currently a window shown and another door will be added to the left of that door to the library, connecting the new bathrooms to the rest of the temple. The drainpipe in the front is for the required drinking fountains. Reba Jinbo will start on the main altar early next month and Baima Gabu will arrive next week to work on the canopy. With any luck we should have the main temple interior finished by July.
New bathoom addition.
Gold paint goes on ceiling.
Windows being replaced in Buddha Hall.
It still needs a couple of more layers of gold paint.
