Metal sheeting on the roof and skylight over the Gompa

Written by Michał - Friday, 09 July 2010 12:12   

Last week our workers installed windows in the roof and – counteracting the law of gravity – covered the second half of the roof over the residential area. At the same time the other work team installed the framework for the skylight. Now we are waiting for the window panes  ordered. 

And next week preparations for the metal sheeting of the Gompa will start…

The first metal sheeting and windows in the Gompa

Written by Michał - Friday, 02 July 2010 22:07   


The first plates of metal sheeting showed up on the roof above the residential area already on Monday. They are put on top of a special mat looking like a fabric covered with thick fur ;-) Every edge of the sheeting had to be bent twice to prevent water from heavy rain from penetrating underneath. There are also small chimneys for ventilation and bleeding. A special pipe will prevent snow and ice from falling down.

And there are windows in the Gompa already.

Dear friends!

I would like to thank you all – mummies, daddies and kids – for showing up. There were more than 30 children (out of 50 Gdansk sangha kids) and more than 45 parents. The kids had a great time, the parents and other grownups didn’t complain either. Saracen did his very best and the delicacies from the grill disappeared in no time ;) There were spontaneous games and unexpected guests. Many people would like to continue this tradition in the future and organize such parties more often. I strongly urge you to take the initiative and contribute to our integration. I’ll be glad to be of help.

Greetings
Juliusz

In the upcoming days we intend to place  the steel roof structure over the gompa and soon after that will come the time for installing the skylights and windows in the gompa. Next to appear will be  the titanium-zink metal sheeting that will the roof covering.

This stage of the construction will take about two months and of course we will keep you informed about everything as it happens!

Dear all,
