3. Landscaping and renovating-September 2010:
We continue to work on the interior and cleaning the vents of the old AC. We get the professional people for the job. They even sanitize the air ducts with some cleaning agent named EnviroCon. And the cool air comes out quite fresh and breathable, as a result. Certainly, it will be even better when we can afford a new AC system. The work goes on!
Here are some photos for you:
Welcome!
A sign of rain!
The graceful bamboo !
And the white Bamboo!
A cool shade!
A bright day!
Happy Bamboo!
Growing slender bamboo!
Along the porch!
Top soil & mulch!
More than halfway done!
Topsoil for the Bodhi tree !
Let's dig up the sand and add the top soil!
Finally, we got the refrigerator... near the end of the summer!
It looks nice to the kitchen, anyway! Thanks to The Tras!
Painting the molding!
More painting, along the walls!
Here comes the VentClean van!
A pro-airpump for the task-sucking out the dirt!

Sanitizing the vent after this!
A fresh and cool morning.....afterward!
Emerging!
Making a stand!
Will it rain!
"Entering a monastery, Bodhisattvas should wish that all beings, Expound various principles, Of noncontention ."(As Pure Conducts)
-"Vào Tăng-già-lam nên nguyện chúng sanh, diễn thuyết các pháp, không tranh không cải."
Already too hot!
A promising sign...
for ...rain!
There is the needed rain!
More rain to come!
"When entering a hall, Bodhisattvas should wish that all beings, Ascend to the unexcelled sanctuary, And rest there secure, unshakable."(As Pure Conducts)
-"Nếu vào điện đường, nên nguyện chúng sanh, lên nhà vô thượng, an trụ bất động."
With seasonal fruit!
"Bodhisattvas at home should wish that all beings realize that the nature of "home" is empty, and liberate from its burdens."
-"Bồ-Tát ở nhà, nên nguyện chúng sanh, biết nhà tánh không, khỏi sự bức ngặt."
Offering to the Triple Jewels!
With rep sect!
....And devotion!
Namo Buddhaya!
At dawn!
At dusk!
A nice view, as always!
