Sacred Stones, Sacred Stories

This right here is one of our main motivations for the Sacred Stones, Sacred Stories project.

Can you imagine having a propane tank this big in YOUR backyard?!

We are so grateful to everyone who is helping us reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, to use cleaner and renewable energy to heat and cool our monastery through a geothermal system. We can’t wait!

A large duct is new addition to the attic

As we look  southward in the attic of the west wing, we can see a very large duct that will connect with an energy recovery unit.

Saving materials for later use

Also in the attic of the west wing, we have saved tin ceiling tiles that were removed for future use and stacks of insulation to be re-used in the attic.
