Small Projects Around the Aadheenam

Recently the monastery acquired some large commercial food dehydrators at our Noni processing building. We use them during sunny days when they can fully run off solar power. As a recent experiment we tried drying some of our many green house tomatoes and have made our first jar of "sun" dried tomatoes. Technically the energy that dried them did come from the sun after all. In other areas our monks are having fun baking bread and other tasty homemade edibles on their retreat days. Out in the shop some of our monks are working on important repairs to vehicles and more.

Out in the shop we find our wood chipper is in need of repairs. This machine has provided our garden with plenty of useful mulch.

We find Yogi working to repair it.

And over in the woodshop, Vishvanathaswami is repairing one of the old, original doors from the main building. It\

s made of a thick, solid wood, but has received some wear and tear over the years. Aum. '
