The Shrine room in the center is being renovated.
The renovation includes new LED lights, hardwood floor, and painting.
June 21: Here are some pictures of the installation of the floor.



And new prayer flags in front.

June 17: The material for the floor has been delivered and is acclimating. The installation is scheduled this week.


The color was selected to be compatible with the shrine.

June 10: The replacement of the floor is scheduled for June 18-22. During the work we will not be able to have our weekly Wednesday meditation. We are planning to move the shrine back into the Shrine Room on the 23rd and have our Sunday practice on the 24th.
June 3: We will resume Wednesday 7:00 p.m. Meditation while the renovation of the floor continues.
May 28: The painting is finished, but the floor will take until at least mid-June to be renovated.
Because of the condition of the floor we will need to have plywood sub-flooring under the new floor. We are leaning towards red oak with a gold finish.
With the red accents we can see how the colors will look. The colors in these pictures look different based on lighting conditions and the phone camera used.



Thanks to everyone who contributed to the painting effort.

The original floor from the store needs some help.
The store was built in 1906.

May 11: Removing the carpeting that has held up well since 1989.

With this much padding we didn’t notice the bumps in the floor.

May 9: The Karmapa throne was disassembled for moving. Pictures and thankas have been removed. The fabric on the thrones and tables is 20 years old and will be updated.

The LED lights are energy-efficient and provide even lighting over the whole shrine room.

And they can be adjusted to any brightness so we can adjust the amount of light in the room.
