Getting Started & Clearing the Way
First stage: demolition! Clearing the way to make room for the new foundations.
Protecting the fish. One of the first things we did was to move the fish into a temporary abode; a large tank with a water filter and roof to prevent critters from playing with them. They will be returned to the pond after construction is complete.
Renovating the Prayer Wheel House. We have replaced old rotting wood and made repairs to the frame of the Prayer Wheel House.
This monument is one of the largest and first prayer wheels built in the U.S. and is unusual in its design.
