Construction has begun and we are now doing significant construction work to help our contractor (and to reduce costs). It's all physical work, but there are a wide variety of tasks for different abilities and skill levels.
At each work party going forward there will be a mix of tasks ranging including:
The November work party will probably emphasize sheet rock removal for internal walls that are moving and deconstructing the chainlink fence in the back yard but we won't know the exact task list until close to the time.
The lawn will be due for a final fall mowing and there will be plenty of cleaning and tidying at every work party to keep our construction site as presentable as we can for our upstairs tenant.
Safety: we now have work gloves, eye protection, and ear protection available to to borrow - bring you own if you have them and do wear sturdy clothes and footwear.
Lunch: if you can stay into the afternoon please bring a lunch. We are planning full 9am to 4pm days, but any amount of time you can spend is a big help.
Timing: Arriving later than the start time is just fine. Please come when you can in the 9am - 4pm window. And please RSVP and indicate your best guess and when you'll be there to help our facilitators in planning.
Location: The new zendo is at 2509 Cedarwood, Bellingham, WA, near the intersection of Cedarwood and Northwest Avenue.
