After a strenuous week we completed the new staircase. Third layer of clay placed on the roof, dense red clay colored twigs made the finish of the porch and the wooden structure also got its red clay paint. >>>
Staircase walls and roof structure finished, short visit to DzongkulAfter some serious effort the new walls of the staircase are standing, and the wooden roof-structure is ready. Last weekend visited the Zangla nunnery school on their picnic at the riverside, and payed a short visit to Dzongkul monastery, the birthplace of the essays published by Csoma as Alexander books. >>>

More bricks and structural stabilization
2008-08-29We managed to form a new local team to continue brickmaking.
Also contracted a person who started carrying the bricks from the quarry to the Palace. This is probably the most exhausting task of the restoration. We can carry water by donkeys to the building, but not the bricks. Thay would brake on the back of an animal. One person can carry 2 or 3 bricks on the back at a time. One round takes at least 30 minutes to scale the 100 metres difference in altitude. 25 rounds a day only takes 50 bricks to the top.
We started the structural stabilization of the building. Removed one oversized beam from the storey bellow Csoma`s Room, that already cracked the main load-bearing walls of the building. Gergely Barcza injects the external cracks of the building that will reveal by next year if the inclination of the wall continues.
Thank you for your donations and for the supporting letters. Those who donated, please find the pictures of the bricks on the following link: Csoma`s bricks
